Gumbo + Kashi = Big Thumbs Down

I have digestive troubles. My system, like fine china, requires that its meals be eaten with care. Friday night and Saturday morning I sloshed my way eagerly through a *huge* amount of homemade gumbo, complete with andouille sausage (which usually makes my insides nice and fiery). Saturday afternoon I chased that mess with a Kashi malted chocolate protein bar. Big mistake. I wanted it because it was healthier and more filling than a candy bar, but still pretty much tasted like a candy bar. Brett made a crack about Kashi and its magical ability to produce unnecessary amounts of poop. I ignored him. Later that evening, I suddenly doubled over in pain. Waddled to the bathroom, still doubled over. Sat on the toilet doubled over. Stayed there for a good long while. Then fell asleep in an uncomfortable ball with a heating pad on my tummy. I've learned something from this...apparently if gumbo turns my insides into a ball of liquid fire, and kashi enables me to produce higher than normal amounts of poop, the two together produce a higher than normal amount of liquid fire poop. I'm still recovering, but my insides somehow feel a little cleaner and more fit. I ate another Kashi bar yesterday, and one today, so we'll see how that goes. Maybe old people are on to something with this whole extra fiber thing...
