In the spirit of scientific study, Sunday was spent testing various treatments for constipation. In the spirit of human decency I won't document the full story. Just try not to think of ... well, just try not to think of it.
End result: Monday evening and I'm eating again. Feeling well enough to over-eat, trying not to. Innards suffering the effects of shock, feeling a mild uncertainty... but I'd call it, "Cured". Now for a few weeks of gradual improvement :-)

Here's an interesting concept:
Doctors give you Drug A which has unfortunate side-effects B. So they add Drug C to fight side-effect B. Drug C has its own side-effect D. So you are given drug E to counter D... and so on. Until:
When the side-effect is "constipation", doctors breathe a sigh of relief. Because... there are many and varied treatments for constipation. And many of those treatments are both effective -- and have no further side-effects. So the side-effect shuffle can cease.
Interesting!
I'm almost looking forward to testing next month's A B C D side-effect shuffle. Though I shall try to be a bit more proactive... The more I test, the more proactive I can be :-)
