CJJ-
Hope you are feeling better. At the 10 day program, Dr. McDougall had flax seed (whole) on the breakfast table to put on oatmeal for those who were having digestive issues like yours. (I use ground flax every morning to help lower my cholesterol.)
I read your first post about wanting to go to the 10 day program. When I went in January, there were 24 of us, including 2 couples. Those of us who were not with spouses did not feel lonely--way too busy! But I found myself wishing my DH was there, to get all the information! And to meet all the great people. Mary McDougall thought it was funny when I met her the first night, and told her that she and the doctor were like rock stars to us!
If you can swing it, it is DEFINITELY worth every penny. Even though I strayed over the summer, I still feel like I have the tools to come back.
You are doing great! Keep it up.
