Hi All,
As most of you know I am having bowel problems and being sick at my stomach. Things are just not getting any better. I just don't know what to do. My surgeon just tells  me I am eating to fast or eating to much. I keep tryin to tell I am not doing this. He acts like he doesn't hear me. I just don't know what else to do about these problems. Last night I ate a very few bites of Jello, I got so very sick.

God Bless you all
Evie

Ok I don't know what all you've tried but if you as you know you NEED to go because you are feeling so bad.  What have you taken so far?  Have you tried Magnesium Citrate it's got a lemony taste and I think it might be fuzzy but it was given to me before my surgery to clean me out.  I'm sure you probably feel miserable everytime you eat so STOP and just do as much fluid as you can.  If you go to any pharmacy and ask what is good they will tell you.  I had HORRIBLE constipation after a surgery or two until I learned to take a stool softener, if you have this problem chorinically see what your doctor says about taking one daily for life.  Also look into probiotics they are GREAT for helping those with IBS and I think that plus my 80oz of water a day helps me to be very very regular at least once a day.

For now I would maybe even insist on a colonoscopy or whatnot.  Enema?  Suppository?  Do you have one of those old fashioned douche bags?  Just fill it up and stand in the shower...it's gross but you MUST do something right?

Sorry about how you are feeling but just know one contribution is that your hormones are going CRAZY right now.
