Same with me, Lynx. Sometimes they subside. But in the evenings they're always worst.

Mine typically do, too, but if it's been a bad night, sometimes they won't have gone away by the time I wake up.
Here it is, 2pm and I'm perfectly fine. But come 10:30 or 11pm, I'll be in pain.

You can go in an edit your post if you see a mistake. Just hit edit instead of reply to your own post. You can fix all your mistakes without too many others seeing your mistakes!  I have to use it all the time!

Thanks, Augie. You are soooo great! 
BTW, how has your search for a safe SFS been going? Have you tried anything lately that has helped?

No I have pretty much given up on all SFSs at the moment. Just taking magnesium (400 mg a day) and triphala herb. Don't notice a difference one way or another. I've tried increasing IF and walking everyday.
What are you taking again, for your C?

I'm taking:
Noni Juice - 2 tbsp, 2x/day
Probiotic - 2x/day
Acacia - 1 tsp/day
Citrucel - 6g (12 pills)/day
Omega 3:6:9 - 2 pills, 2x/day
Peppermint Caps (with fennel & ginger) - 3-4 pills/day
Miralax OR Magnesium - 1 capfull OR 1000-2000mg
IBX: Soothing Bowel Formula - 2 pills, 2x/day
This combo has given me the best results that I've had so far. I'm probably in more *pain* than I was before I started all this, but the C isn't bad and there's virtually no bloating. I guess you trade one for another sometimes...
I think that's about it... am still waiting on my new med from the GI to arrive in the mail. I will keep you updated on how that works...

Oh, goodness...YES!
Whether I eat or not, whether I get up 3 hours early, or in barely enough time, no matter what I do, I always have D in the mornings when I am trying to leave the house.
I am one of those people who is compulsively on time (and by that, I mean early...hehe) and this is just killing me! I'm late to things I just *can't* be late for. I have to dash back for the garage to use the bathroom *again*, and I often have to stop 3 and 4 times on a 2 mile drive, and then rush in to the bathroom when I get there. It's so embarassing, because I have always considered being late one of the most disrespectful things, ever.

I'm pretty sure this has aloe vera in it which is BAD  You may already know this, but I felt I needed to point this out if you didn't realize it yet.
Aloe isn't recommended.
Hmm, wonder why you are in more pain with all this? Perhaps it is too much SFS and miralax causing you all the pain. I agree that I would rather have either pain or constipation instead of both of them.

Just a quick check...
I hadn't heard about aloe being bad, although I never would have considered eating it.  There is no problem with external use of aloe though, right? I went to buy Baby Oil the other day, and the only Johnson baby oil they had said "With Aloe and Vitamin E" and I bought it because I thought Aloe would help the burn and Vit E would help the scarring. There is no problem with that, right?
It may be a silly question...but I just thought I would check...
