Last week was just the worst, but between last night and this morning I finally had some "relief". When it was all said and done I was dizzy and shaking from finally "emptying" after all that. Everything the Dr gave me was bogus. It finally took a few days of beet juice (softens things up for me) and a strong cup of Smooth Move herbal tea. I hadn't used anything like that in SOO long because I didn't want to become dependent or abuse it, so please don't take this as advice to go drink stimulant laxative teas every time you feel C. I was in a uniquely BAD situation (if you read my post last week).
My acacia came so I am starting that slowly, hoping for the best! Also sticking with my veggie juices and the hot lemon juice with honey drink, seemed to help some. I don't watn to allow IBS or this twisted colon of mine to take over my life again, rob me of my energy and my joy, so I am definitely praying that acacia will be a big help to keeping me from getting "stopped up" or doubled over in pain again. I am so much better in so many ways, I just want to feel like my colon and I are on the same side here! 
I know I don't respond much to others but my time here is short - I try to keep up. Just had to let you all know things are "better"...what a predicament that was! 
Hugs to all,

Michelle,
I am so pleased to hear that you finally managed to 'go'. I could totally relate to what you were going through and was really concerned about you. I hope things are under control now and that you manage to stay more regular from now on. Enjoy the relief !

Michelle, I'm so glad you're feeling better. Being a C myself I know how amazing it can feel to just get all that junk out of your system. I hope you can stay more regular now!! Take care.

Great to hear that you're better! I was going suggest having....coffee.... to loosen things up. Glad it didn't have to come to that.
