folic acid/400 mcg	with breakfast	standard breakfast supplement

    Up at 1100, eating by 1150. Good timing. Everything normal. No stats. No stat withdrawal.
    Her Bowel Movement occurred about 40 minutes ago, around 1320. Quick delivery; excellent consistency, one turd looked like it might have been hard to expel but she said she had no problem; fair volume; easy clean-up. I'm wondering if some of these felicitous changes in her bowel habits and quality are due to switching entirely to Niferex-150. Now that she's eliminating practically every day, I don't think her colon considers it any longer necessary to dump its entire contents in one sitting.
