I know how everyone feels i never post much because my problems are min.
It seems that everyone else has worse problems than i do!
I too have those bathroom problems! Everynight before i go to bed, I
take milk of mag. tyenol pm and prevacid.
When i awake i drink my coffee and that usually sends me to the potty
thank goodness! But there are morings i go but its an all day process. I
find that i have more problems when i don't get the proper rest, and
drink enough water. I'm not a big eater because of all my intestinal
problems, but water is really important for me. What i do is take the
empty "powerade bottles which is 32oz" i fill them with water at nite at
least 2 to 3 of them put them in the freezer take them out in the
morning and try to finish at least 2 of them that way i get my 8
glasses. I find if i drink that amount it helps alot the next
morning:).
But there are days i don't do that and boy do i suffer. I too hate the
thought of being on laxatives. I'v given up on dr's the last one i saw
wanted to take my intestines out i came home and cried! So now i'm doing
my own thing until i find the right dr. I do sympathize with everyone
here. I do read alot of the post. (((big hugs)))
Love ya
