Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 I've had the same problem with stools, they plug my toilet. The plumber said some people are on medication that causes their stools to harden, he said to flush the stools first, then when the toilet bowl fills up, use the paper and flush it. This works pretty well, but I still have to use the plunger once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 What enzymes are you taking? I have had those same stools. That is part of how I measure my recovery. Sometimes you just need to find the right enzyme or supplement. A lot of people on here have had help with that very problem by taking Creon. Do you take dietary supplements? We all needs fats in our diet in order to survive; babies need it to grow, it is a neccesary componet to life. I have found that by not using the fat free, reduced fat, and just cut out all the crap, no margerine, only real butter, real mayo, sparingly. No procesed foods what so ever helped tremendously. I dont know what my dietary needs are at the moment. I am a little confused about that myself. So I may not be the best person to answer, but I know where your coming from. Right now I am forcing my self to eat so that I can get stronger. I choked down a half of a cheese sandwich this morning. Cooking some beans and rice now, hopes that goes down as well. I have no appetite which is unusual for me. So we'll see how it goes.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Are you on a stool softener? I had the same problem and my GI doc told me to take milk of magnesia every night before bed. It has helped tremendously. Patty > Re: " Bowel Blues " > > I've had the same problem with stools, they plug my toilet.
