Guest guest Posted July 20, 2002 Report Share Posted July 20, 2002 Bill et al, Thanks again to something I read from you ages ago, I latched on to Colace (generic DOS). After much trial and error I have come upon the system that seems to work for me at this time. That is not to say things won't change any moment!!! Please pardon me while I get personal........believe me, I would never have dreamed I would be discussing my bowel habits to a mixed audience, but I have lost all such inhibitions by now!!! I have a BM every 5-7 days.........and that is with lots of coaxing from DOS and suppositories. I take a DOS every morning and night substituting a peri-DOS once a day at about the 3-4th day. When I begin to feel my "vault is full" and things don't come naturally, i use a suppository. This usually brings results fairly soon. Then I will have a week's worth of elimination over the next 2 days. My life revolves around this sked. I plan my activities around my "off" days. I still eat lots of veggies and cereals and have cut 'way down on meats, especially beef which I love!!! My overall appetite has diminished over time but for me that's OK as I love to eat and have a tendency to pile it on. NO chance of me starving!!! I do take a multi-vit every day also. The laxative recipes going around now are interesting to read but are not for me. I copied one or two them for my recipe notebook more to round out my repertoire of recipes than anything else. I figure they will make interesting reading someday and may even help someone in future. But I know my system and know that these concoctions containing natural fiber can have disastrous results on my system. barb pond blacksburg va Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
