Hello and welcome!
Well done on starting. Sorry to hear about your toilet problems...! Regarding your dry throat - even tho it's v. annoying - it does help you drink LOADS of water! So guzzle back that water. Actually, I used to have a really dry throat when i started CD, but it does go!!
I'm pretty sure that it says that exercise on SS is restricted, it says it's not sensible to start to exercise strenously - best to maintain your existing activity level... have another read of your books. I didn't stop taking my dog for a walk... i suppose it's better than doing nothing.
Good luck!
Lynne
