    Sorry I didn't get back! been crazy with sick children etc...

    She truely is a glutten for punishment this one... anyway she groaned all night long, but by morning was feeling better. She stole food off the table in the morning!!! Even when we were supposed to be fasting her for 24 hours.

    The issue with laxatives or castor oil is that they do stimulate the guts, and if the stomach is pressed as big as it can, then there is a risk of perforation (or guts breaking and leaking into the abdomen) which is a fatal outcome. Her normal serving at night is 1/2 cup of this food. Which is approximately 125gm. She ate 3kg.... so her guts would have been stretched.

    You should have seen the amount of poo to pick up the next day *groan*

    Oh Christy!!! I'm so glad she's okay. on the stealing from the table. They never learn, do they? She's clearly loved for her sweet nature, not for her Mensa capability!

    You must be so relieved.
