Anyone?

I am still concerned because I really am sticking to the diet and in the mornings the second my body wakes up I am running to the bathroom. I checked out this chart: http://www.gillianmckeith.info/yourbody/health/stoolanalysispoochart.php
and I am consistently a 5 or 6 with a 7 maybe once every couple weeks. I am afraid I am not absorbing much of what I am eating.

I don't take a multivitamin because every brand I have tried literally goes right through me. I take Benefiber everyday (I ordered the Tummy Fiber to see if I will have better results). I am also drinking 2-3 cups of hot peppermint tea every day (which I never did before)I am just confused because I have found myself much more gassy and in the mornings things are much more urgent than ever before really sticking to this diet. Am I missing something? Am I just adjusting? I am trying to get this under control as best as I can because I want to get healthy before trying to start a family (which will probably be stressful as it is!)
