Hi beetlejuice, I appreciate your perspective on my reluctance to talk about my bowel movements...but I just wanted to say that in normal conversation it is not considered polite to discuss such matters. Normal can be relative I admit, but in my experience I don't discuss these matters with my friends or co-workers and I'd prefer not to hear about their bowel movements either. I don't feel guilty about this, and I do not believe it is a right or wrong (moral) issue. It is cultural norms. So, that's my perspective...
Good luck on your fast. I went to two farmers markets looking for organic lemons and couldn't find them, so am using bags bought from Trader Joes $2/4 lbs.
