Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | (show all) OKAY , KIDS.....NOW WHAT?       #52706 - 03/21/04 11:23 AM Edit Reply Quote Scully30 Reged: 02/01/04 Posts: 122 Loc: Overland Park, KS It's out! YEAH!! I called my GP on call yesterday and she advised me to take a magnesium citrate supplement, which I did, but to no avail. I was still plugged up and in moderately severe pain with lots of gas. SOoooooooo.....the next step she said would be to do the Fleet enema. Okay, that was NOT COOL. I was not real happy doing that. But....IT WORKED!!!!!!!!! And, get this, I am STILL going now, 16 hours later. I had THAT MUCH JUNK to pass. Okay.....from here on out, then, what should I be eating? Today I had a bowl of french onion soup without the cheese, and a sourdough bagel with 2 T. hummus. Thanks so much to EVERYONE for all your helpful input!

Glad to hear you're feeling better - or at least going, that is. Were you taking the magnesium supplement before? If not, try to keep taking it, because it's supposed to help with C - I do calcium for the D. Just keep eating the way you have been, but maybe you need to up your insoluble a little. Try making the smoothie (banana makes a great soluble base, then just add berries, peaches, etc.). How do you do with oatmeal or brown rice? They have a little more insoluble, but are generally well tolerated. I know you get plenty of exercise. You said the acacia was working for you, right? Maybe it's time to up your dose (you're only at 1 T in the am, 1 T in the pm, right?). Of course, keep the water going so the fiber can do it's job. Let us know how you make out.

Ugh! I understand your discomfort all too well. I find that I start to have problems if I don't get enough insoluble fiber; and one of my biggest prevention steps is SLEEP! When I first read that on the boards about sleep; I thought it must be bologna! But, I've realized since then, that when I don't sleep enough or I don't sleep well, I ALWAYS have problems. I'm hoping that you find something that works for you. Arghh! It can be so frustrating! I have a question for you. Was the magnesium in a pill or liquid? I haven't seen it anywhere and I just want to know.

You can find it at the grocery store or Wal Mart.

(pun intended) Yes, my attitude IS radically different when I can go properly. I am just hoping now that I can be okay for a little while now. Tomorrow I get my referral from my GP. God knows I hope this person will know IBS well. I'll try to make sure. What do you suggest I put in my gut to help keep me from turning red on the toilet while my butt goes to sleep?? (SERIOUSLY....that happened! I was sitting there so long my butt got numb!) You still never told me where you got the cute icon.
