Pages: 1 Saw the GI specialist today..       #359718 - 07/13/10 09:42 PM Edit Reply Quote fineskyline Reged: 06/22/10 Posts: 3 He wants me to take 2 dulcolax daily, as well as prune juice to "clear [me] out." Also said I'll "have to learn to live with" abdominal pain and bloating. What the heck? I told him that all my previous abdominal x-rays have shown no constipation, just lots of gas. I told him all about my symptoms and everything, and he still thinks my issue is constipation. So frustrated right now.

I would NOT do the prune juice if your main prob is gas!! That may be the worst advice ever.
