Topic: RE: constipation----sore subject
And I thouht it was just me! It's not that I'm actually constipated - but I seemed to be full of sh*t often! I get stomach aches often, sometimes almost daily. My surgeon suggested Metamucil a few months ago, but I couldn't drink it fast enough. It always solidified at the bottom of the glass. Then I tried the MOM once a week and that seemed to help. BUT the best thing I've tried is a mixture of sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and flax seeds. I grind up equal parts in my Magic Bullet and then refrigerate it. I take (eat) about a tablespoon every morning. This makes the poop softer and it is not so hard to get rid of. I still get lots of stomach aches though before I go Sure wish the problem would go away. Judy

Hi Anita Ive never had this problem before my surgery and it seems to be going ok now, cos I have increased my protein shakes to try to get my weight moving and the skim milk seems to go right through me, so that helps. If I cant stand the protein shakes , I eat , and I guarantee this, a handful of macadamia nuts. Now I know they are high in fat , but thats what makes them a miracle. They are all natural. so yummy. Give them a try , I bet it works. Good luck with it. hugs from down under, hahah isnt it funny how it dosnt matter the subject we can ask one another on here and no one bats an eyelid? Helen x

When I talked to my surgeon two weeks ago about my chronic post op constipation, he prescribed a purge with Magnesium Citrate. That cleared the pipes, if you get my drift. Now for maintenence, I eat an ounce or two of Ruffles Light potato chips fried in Olestra every day. They cause diarrhea in many people but it's just enough to keep me kind of regular. I also take two Colace stool softeners per day.

I have to take Milk of Magnesia every 1-2 weeks (I take 4 tbs) and usually get relief in 6 hours - no cramping. Also, every couple of days I have beans as my protein for a meal and that has helped me. Upping my water intake did not help. Hope you get to feeling better. Heather 4-11-05 291-177-150 -114
