Yes I did try another green banana. One last night (I was greedy, I had Potato with my dinner and green banana in my pre bedtime supper along with 4 tablespoons of PS throughout the day - 2 with lunch, 2 pre dinner) and one green banana the night before as well.

Since the fowl gas that went on all night Sunday, and total clearout Monday morning, I have not had a repeat of that. Gas is still there but I'd say 85% less of it.

I don't know....maybe I had some bacteria in my gut that attached to that first banana and got taken into the large intestine and cleared out, or maybe it was just a potent mix of natural coconut water and green banana. I think it was probably that because I've had the same experience drinking too much coconut water before. Possibly too much Potassium I'm guessing.

My inflammation does not seem to be affected by eating Potato's and Green Bananas. However I caution I could be masking it with my usual dose of Dyclofenac (100mg once per day). After a month of RS, I'm going to take Dyclofenac away again.

I am increasing weight. I dont' think it is fat though. 4 weeks ago I was 86kgs. I'm now 90 kgs. I suspect a combination of gut bacteria growth, and being able to do new exercises thanks to buying some equipment (chin-ups) in combination with post workout starch (potatoes) is providing muscle growth benefits.

As far as regular BM goes.....there is less fecal matter and it is far more regular (usually once per day) and its easy. First time in 2 years I have not to worry about shitting bricks or forcing one out after 3 - 5 days of nothing. Its just a huge relief mentally and literally and that alone is a huge benefit that RS has fixed.

I wonder if less fecal matter is just because its moving rather than being compacted up and therefore more regular, or whether more bacteria = more digestion of what you eat so less wastage. Maybe a bit of both.
