CAN'T WAIT! (only kidding)

I got a message back from the GI team down at Mayo regarding my grease blobs every time I have a bowel movement. They are thinking that I have fat malabsorption and would like me to test for it. In order to do this, I have to eat 100g of fat every day for 6 days and on the last 3 days, collect stool samples. To put this into perspective, a McDonald's cheeseburger has 12g of fat and a Big Mac has 28g of fat. My non-stomach already feels sick just thinking about it. My doc said it would be best to stay home all 6 days and make sure a toilet is near as we will, for sure, be best friends those 6 days. She will be mailing the test out. Can't wait! (TOTALLY being sarcastic here)
