When I get a bad flare up its 40-50+ times a day. And its penguin walking to make it there.
Holy moly. I thought my IBS was depressing at 5-6 times a day.
I'm like a zombie. Because its 24 hours a day. Not to mention after the first day i'm red raw...... I'm hoping to get this flare up under control quickly.

Jeez, that sounds truly terrible.
Hmm, I've never really monitored it, but I definitely take a seat much less often when I've been eating less, possibly often once every other day. I mean, I guess it makes sense.
You need a bum gun!! Game changer for people with IBS (an ex girlfriend suffered with it)
I dont have IBS. I have IBD. But I may look into a Bum Gun. Although to be honest a bad flare up and i'm using a couple of packets of moist toilet tissues a day anyhow... And any extra time in the bathroom is time i'm not sleeping....

What's your take on bidets/bum sprays?
I've grown up using a bidet. As bizarre as it sounds, having a clean bum after a poo is quite a significant part of my culture :p Anyway I had someone over for dinner and they were freaked out by the Japanese toilet seat bidet I have in the loo. They called it weird. I countered by saying if...

Bmi is a waste of space as a metric IMO.
*edit even more so if you pound the weights at the gym.
Body fat % much more relevant.
I'm skinny fat at 26% at the moment but down to 77kg.
Yet I'm just in the "normal" range at 25 BMI.

BMI is a much better metric that its current reputation suggests. It is better suited as a population level measure than an individual one, but still - for most people - it's a good guide as to what is likely to be a healthy range for you. And, sure, if you're heavily muscled, it'll get it wrong but you know whether you're built like a tank or not.
It is. But there's no good, easily available, way to measure it. Those scales that claim to measure it, for example, are off by between a 20-34% and can both over and under read, so you need equipment you only find in a laboratory to get decent measures of body fat and, equally importantly, where that fat is. BMI is a good enough measure for most people that you can track with measurements you have easy access to and is used because it is correlates pretty well with body fat whilst still being easy to measure. So long as you don't treat it as the be-all and end-all and overfixate on the somewhat arbitrary endpoints of the normal range, it does its job well enough.
I generally think BMI is pretty useless, but that's from a point of view of someone who has a rough idea of what's going on. I get it that if you have no idea (which I don't think applies to many in this thread?) that BMI isn't a bad place to start when checking if you're the right weight. I guess it could be dangerous though if you get worried you're overweight when you're not and start dieting yourself to be underwieght, which would show as 'you're fine!' on a BMI scale? (If that makes sense?!)
Apparently my BMI is 25.2 which is classed as high.....i have visible abs. **** metric.
