I haven't had mine for years now and when I think about it breaking down the fat as it's function, that has to have an affect on how my body processes fat now.

Anyone know anything about this?

    For me, too much fat all at once makes me head to the toilet in approx. 20 minutes. So, I try to eat small amounts of fat throughout the day. My "fecal urgency" seems worse when I eat lots of animal fats all at once (think: meatlover's pizza with extra cheese). So I stick with a lot of plant-based fats, personally, and spread it out thru my day. Making sure to eat fiber when I eat fat also seems to help. Like avocados, they don't give me trouble at all.

    Edit to add: since you need some fat to digest some vitamins, I make sure to eat the fats that don't cause ... evacuation.
