Guest guest Posted August 1, 2000 Report Share Posted August 1, 2000 Joya, The weight gain you experience could very well be from bloating from not going for 3-4 days. That's a very long time between " movements " (sorry guys!) I realize everybody's system is different, but my intuition is that anything more than 2 days is questionable. You definitely need more fiber to move things along. You'd be surprised what adding just a few servings of fiber a day, esp. fruit, will do for you. Glad I could give you a guideline.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2000 Report Share Posted August 1, 2000 You too, ! Try getting more fruits/veggies into your diet. I'm sure metamucil could help in a pinch. You're always better off getting your fiber from foods, just as you're better off getting your vitamins from food, not from pills. Vitamin pills are OK as a supplement, but not as the only way to get your nutrients. On the other hand, too much fiber can bind you too, so be wary of the amounts your getting. Moderation!

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2000 Report Share Posted August 1, 2000 , In natural food stores, there are all sorts of products that help kickstart the digestive track. You might want to explore that. If you do, talk to someone from that department (herbs/vitamins) who might be able to recommend something. Start out with something gentle, then, if you need to, progress to the cleanses, some of which work like Roto Rooter! Good luck! And congratulations on your bonus! ;-) F > In a message dated 8/1/00 7:38:48 PM Central Daylight Time, srferron@a... > writes: > > << Ann Marie is right on this.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2000 Report Share Posted August 2, 2000 OMG I can't remember the no of times my mother used to drag me to the quacks for not going everyday....to be told there was nothing wrong... It was only a few years ago that things changed. The last visit to the quack had him putting me under IBS, but after some articles in magazines and a chat with a really great woman in the local health food store I'm trying some heavy dosage of herbal remedies over the next 3 months to try and sort my digestive system (the food intolerances where getting worse too) and after 3 weeks (and that stomach bug last week) I'm beginning to feel better, so here's hoping that it works.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2000 Report Share Posted August 2, 2000 << Great points, Amy! One other twist on the fiber supplements, switching brands could make a big difference. Just like different brands of the same medications can effect you differently. Thanks for the advice. I am sure there a few others on this list who have the same problem but who just don't want to annouce it to electronic space. I regularly (no pun intended) use metamucil and citracil..also fiber capsules. Upon my doctors reccomendations. I was just irritated he brished off the symptoms of blood and severe abdominal cramping and diziness off like nothing. as soon as goes Active duty trust that I am going to have a full physical and insist on an mri or x ray.

Janick who knows that nobody read this to the end well see this is the thing is that I carefully monitor everything I eat for nutritious value....Romie if your online back me up here. I also take in too much fluid if that makes sense. I spent alot of money at the urologist trying to find out about some other things that were wrong with me only to find out that the average person consumes 2 liters of liquid a day and I consume 10. I am always thirst and its almost like an OCD thirsty. I'm not really, but I think I am. The short of it is that I have had a lot of health difficutlties for a while and have had ALOT of tests run...by my other doctors and my parents...sometimes under force or duress. My doctor retired I lost my medical records because his office was bought out. I have had bad luck with every doctor ever since. They can see that my body doesn't function normally but they really don't investigate it anymore. I don't think I am dying or have some horrible disease or anything, but I know that something is wrong and I wish a doctor would spend more than five minutes with me. I'm no health practicioner but I don't believe in treating the symptoms nor do believe an accurate diagnosis can always be made with a five minute interview of a patient you have never met before. Two years ago a doctor dismissed me saying I had allergies and that I needed to take such and such pills. A few days later I passed out at work because it ended up that I had walking pneumonia and couldn't get enough oxygen. I went to a neurologist for my seizueres which are of unknown origin. He could see the tremor in my leg and noticed it in my reflexes. He didnt look for a cuse, he just prescribed an anti-seizure medicine (The seizures don't bother me I just want to know why they are there). The meds made me so sick, strung out and actually worsened the seizures. Sigh. (btw I am on all new meds as of two weeks ago and still have the same regularity problems I have had for three years or more). I just get very frustrated because it makes me feel like such a hypochondriac when I fianlly give in and go to the doctor's office (its like puling teeth to get me to go) and they tell me that its nothing but symptoms and the pills they give me after five minutes never help.

Hate to perpetuate a conversation about 'regularity' so to speak, but my hub had a problem with this (because he eats pizza, bread, cheese and things like that all the time). I do get veggies in him but only at dinner when I get them too - I eat mine during the day too, but he's not here with me then to force feed! haha. Anyways, my point being he had a similar problem to , with not being very 'regular'. I finally convinced him to go to a doctor to make sure this wasn't a problem that entailed more than just his eating habits. The doctor ran tests, blood tests, etc, checked to make sure he wasn't lactose intolerant, etc etc, and finally came to the conclusion that he needs MUCH more fiber in his diet. So the doc recommended Citracel (sp?) in powder form, and he takes it daily. It works wonders for the regularity thing according to him. I don't know now how much it does for your diet - but if that's the probablem you are looking to cure immediately until you get more fiber in your diet regularly, this is a good place to start. Some of my fav. high fiber things are bran muffins for breakfast (across the street they sell a great cherry/bran muffin) Fruit & Fibre cereal, and Kellogg's basic 4, then Pepperidge Farm sells a lowfat wheat bread - not only is it 1 gram of fat for 3 slices, but it has good fiber in it. Also, granola bars often have good fiber. I believe peas are high in fiber & so is broccoli. The other thing I'm trying to make sure I get more of in my diet (not really related to fiber) is calcium. My grandmom suffers from osteoporosis, and I don't want that at alL!!! I've started drinking more milk, and when that's not possible, OJ enriched with calcium, and cereals like Total that have not only added calcium, but a lot of other vitamins. I do take a multivitamin but that's it as far as those. I like to eat a lot of yogurt too it is high in calcium. Anyways, just some tidbits I guess!
