Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 Lisbeth, I'm sure drinking a lot of water will help your situation. Good luck! Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 That is why I was surprised Jackie, because for breakfast I have scrambled eggs with a slice of cheddar cheese yesterday I added a sausuge patty to it. Then I had tuna fish I had the guy at the deli add some extra mayo because I dont like dry tuna and for dinner I had chicken ok ok I had a toaster struedel yesterday also almost forgot about that...That is why I was a bit surprised to wake up this morning to discover nothing in the porcelain dept....A part of me is scared to add fats because I suffered from IBS and I know what its like to go and go and go and go and go.......I think I will try and drink a gallon of water and hope that flushes something out (sorry to be gross) LOL Thanks for the reply I appreciate it!

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 Oh hon, I have suffered from IBS and the running variety since my 20's. Right now, the morphine they are giving me is acting like quick set concrete, so I can relate. I have learned to take a daily stool softener... (generic colace) but even this at times does not help. I actully had to break down and purchase a fleets enema when the colace and the milk of magnesia did nothing but create an urgency that was not gonna happen. Try the fleets for the current situation, but also try to add some orange flavored metamucil once a day and then some colace in addition if that doesnt' get you back on track. I know its a delicate topic, but I really feel for you, little sis! Hugs, Theresa > > Ok Folks, > General question....I am how to put this to not gross to many.....I am constipated....Should I take something or should I try something any advice would be greatly appreciated! And to think I had IBS for an entire year and all I wanted was to stop going then after surgery for a month and a half I really couldnt stop.....And now I just want to go! > > Lisbeth > > > > > --------------------------------- > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
