This afternoon I had a strange bowel movement -- there was a lot of OIL floating on top of the toilet water. This came with some gas.

Yesterday I never got around to eating my veggies and just had meat, fish and coffee with cream. For breakfast today I ate Flax-O-Meal and then had a lunch of a very large "Santa Fe" salad with some chicken, salsa, sour cream and guacamole in it. I followed that with an Atkins Endulge chocolate bar.

An hour and a half later the oil thing happened. Is it the maltitol from the phony chocolate? Is it a bad sign that I'm not absorbing all the oil I've consumed but am instead passing it?

Your input is appreciated.
