Yes, I agree with you. It IS real and there is no way someone who was chronically constipated for years ( like myself ) can not have some impaction!! I don't care what some naysayer has to say-- let them get ill like I have been-- and have to live through years and years of all sorts of health deterioration and pain!! I KNOW this stuff is real and have no doubt. Yes, maybe some of what comes with these fiber based cleansers is just fiber mixed with feces-- well at least some of the feces has come out! And there is just no way all the stuff I have passed lately is JUST fiber alone. The smell is disgusting! Fiber should not smell like that. I've done tons of colonics too and have at times passed black matter that smelled up the entire room even though they have professional ventilation systems! And now I have no more debilitating back pain-- so whatever. :-) By the way, that photo is disgusting!! Where on earth did you get it?
