Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Okay, here's a question for all you posties...whenever I drink or eat anything, I feel like there is an alien in me. Seriously, it feels like I'm pregnant or something and the " baby " is kicking in my lower left side. I've had serious constipation issues lately. After finally getting relief after a laxative this past weekend, I haven't gone since then. I'm using 5-8 tbsp. of Benefiber a day but alas...no BM yet. Any ideas?

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Hi Tina well i dont have any answers but sometimes i feel the " baby kicking " also ! and also on the left side. not sure about the constipation isues, sometimes i am not aware that i am plugged up and then one day i have a stomach ache and then a trip to the bathroom puts it all in perspective........ most of the time i am ok with the bowels but everynow and then, it changes..........but i have learned peaches go right through me, so i can always use that as a laxative.........good luck, hey i really liked the picture of you and your family on holiday it looked like i think, it was in oregon colleenTina wrote: Okay, here's a question for all you posties...whenever I drink or eat anything, I feel like there is an alien in me.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Totally normal and unfortunately happens even two years post op. I take two stool softeners a day and when its really bad like now...I eat lots of prunes. > Okay, here's a question for all you posties...whenever I drink or eat > anything, I feel like there is an alien in me.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 *I* had to stop taking the benefiber. It gave me serious cement butt. I was taking the max dosage a day too, like you! Get some more laxative and clean yourself out. Then switch to stool softeners and use flax seed meal in your meals instead of the benefiber. My life is good again since I switched over. OH and I only do the stool softener every couple of days, so far the combo has worked good! 2 tablespoons of flax a day and 2 stool softeners every couple of days. Good luck, I sure know how that feels. Just don't go too long without using the laxative to get that all out, or you will have to end up doing a colonic like I did!
