| I feel ty today (no pun there) and the only thing i've done differently in the last couple of days is eat about a kilo of fresh strawberries now the nice variety is in season. Are they responsible for my upset stomach or are they actually really good for me :p |

How well did you wash them? Perhaps there were some pesticides still left over? |

| Seep the LEAVES in hot water, like tea, trust me, it's one of the best natural laxatives. |

i washed them pretty well. like i wash my salad stuff. I'm picking another lb up in a minute, but i'll wash those extra well. The variety we get here in the spring-summer is the best in the world, so i'm not missing out on the freshness :D |

I believe too much of anything could result in a laxative effect considering the body will eventually try to purge itself of all the food en mass.
Solution: triple up on the recommended daily dosage of death spores and remorse starch. |

| Yup, fruits in general with their high fructose contents can tend to cause bowel movements.. |

| i dont think its the strawberries themself.. i think its the spray what the farmer had put on them to prevent insects, birds etc from eating them. just wash them a bit better next time. i could be wrong though. |

How did I know you were going to post somewhere else concerning another person's bowel movements? |
