Stopping smoking can cause constipation. - PubMed - NCBI 

I recommend a well marbled steak and 4 cups of strong coffee.

I found that to be pretty annoying along with the other GAStrointestinal symptoms that accompanied it.  Warning the family is RIGHT, same with coworkers and anyone passing by.

I remember reading an old blog on NML that Sarah wrote about "pooping rocks."  It made me laugh then and still does now.

I thought this blog was good to bring back in the posts today, it should be on best of the ex really!   Because many don't know that some of us can suffer big time with this! I am one of those people! Mark  can we make this part of the best of the ex?  I don't remember reading this at the beginning of my quit! I was so starting to getting worried about my gut and wondering what was up!   Thanks for all the info guys! It is so appreciated, can't say that enough!
