Re: My experiences with Miralax - to Mel and all other wonderful people here

[Guest guest]

Mel, you are an amazing woman. I feel so bad about myself, since I do not have

children on my own (lost 4 pregnancies when I was young), and I am constantly

whinning about my MB and MIralax problems. I came to the point, if I have to

go....at least I am not leaving anybody behind me.

But still, I do not understand, that as much as you are helping your daughter,

you don't do anything for yourself in this regard.

Really, if you won't be well enough, how is your daughter going to be. I do not

want be jugdemental, but that's what came on my mind.

And thank you so much for taking your time, I will wait for the list of

ingredients / pills your daughter is taking.

And one more time, sorry about my English, as I am an ESL (English Second

Language Person, originally from Europe), so I know some of my expressions are

not all right. Thank you for understanding - all of you, you are so helpful.

I also discovered the source of my bleeding this am. As " bad " as it is, I still

feel weird about writing it here, but what else.

I had a look at my " behind " , and noticed some small lump - perhaps pea size

close to the anus. It was sort of dark - filled with blood, and when I pressed

on it, it released some blood.

As my husband thinks, it's an external hemmorhoid, that got disturbed by all my

pressing....(I know I should not press), since I was not taking Miralax in the

last two days.

I had this before, but it was a long long long time, so I forgot about that,

hopefully it will go away with less pressing. At that time I went to the dr,

(different dr from my recent one), he had one look from the distance of 3 feet

and said: Hemmorhoid, buy preparation H and that was the end of the treatment.

That was actually on beginning of my constipation journey. Looking back, I truly

wish he would have told something more about danger of long term constipation,

hemmorhoids, etc, because I am struggling since - 10 years. Before that - no

problems in that department.

I am going to check my supply of Natural Calm, still should have it at home,

hoping it is not beyond expirary date, since I bought it a while ago. I was

just afraid to take it instead of Miralax.

But it seems, there is less danger in Natural Calm than in MIralax.

I am hoping.... it will work.

Yet, my husband thinks, I should keep Miralax till I see my dr (who is of no big

help anyway), to ask him as well about switching from Miralax to NAtural Calm. I

am ready to switch without dr. blessing, as I do no trust him, sad.

I also got some glutein free cereal, spinach, Epsom Salt, I also have some

son B12 and and some son Acidophilus Probiotic complex. - hope it's a

good brand. That's the brand I could find here at Safeway.

I have flaxseed/fish/borage oil in capsuls (1200mg each), taking 3 of them each

day for a long time already, Cheese, milk, ice cream, bananas, white bread,

cakes - I do not eat at all, for months and months. Flax oil I take 2 tbsp every

day with bran cereal in the AM.

Still have to get some Aloa and fish oil.

I am really wondering, if vitamin B deficiency might be one of the sources of my

problems.

Again, sorry for this long post, but I found a lot of support and advices here.

I started a folder, where I keep it all together, please wish me a good luck,

bless you all.

I will keep you posted of any changes.
