Toni: It sounds like you're in a great deal of pain. I'm not sure, of
course (I'm not any kind of medical professional), but it sounds to me that
your current situation with the bloating, little or no stool, pain so bad you
feel like you're going to fall out of yourself, can't sit but only on your
haunches. A few years ago I hadn't had a BM for 9 days & decided to finally
go the ER. They took an exray & found that I was "full of s**t" (nurse's
quote). They admitted me for the weekend & made me drink 4 litres of this
stuff called Colytely (pronounced ko-lite-ly). It worked but it was awful.
Only I haven't had to go back to have it done again yet. This was back in
the early or mid-90's. Have you tried enemas? Fleet has one with mineral
oil added. There's also the Fleet Prep Kit (my box has a "1" on it). This
is what I was given for my last sigmoidoscopy. It cleanses you out, trust
me! I hope some of this helps you, Toni.
I always do whatever I can possibly think of the keep my self having
BMs...the payoff is small but better than the alternative (hospitals & drs).
Good Luck, Toni. If I think od anything else, I'll pas it on to you.
Blessed Be...Karla B.
