Well, Becky, if you did move to Iowa (Cherokee) we'd be approximately 200 miles apart! BUT! You would still be in Iowa!!!

My C always gets stuck in the same spot!!! The right side befor it turns to go the the left.
My doctor insisted on giving me chest x-rays because he was sure I broke a rib or had lung cancer or something. I kept telling him it's not my ribs or my lungs it my colon pressing on my ribs. For me it is the left side right where the colon starts it's downward turn. I have had C so bad I've been in the hospital for official cleaning out.

OOOH, doesn't sound fun.  I've been severly C where I'm C literally from end-to-end, but all they do is give me a prescription laxitive and tell me there's nothing I can do to help it, I'll just have to deal with it for the rest of my life. YAY!!

Sterling is kind of long...I'm in the middle, with the odd looking Locust tree out front. I still can't figure out where you are. Are you close to the lake?

You'll feel it when it's severe. I couldn't go no matter what. Even if I would wait for 30 minutes. Your stomach gets so bloated that you look like you swallowed a basketball or something, and you feel completely full, even when you haven't eaten. Even when I would just sit on the couch, I could feel my full colon and it would actually stick out of my belly. (EESH!)
Oh yeah...it is Rachel. Becky is a nickname I have.

like there is just not room for another bite of anything. I have had it so badly it felt that my intestines were full of cement. It just feels like it is going to come right up my throat! Sometimes Acidophillus helps, you have to ask the pharmacist for the live cultures. I take two before bed, and they work the next day. If the C is really bad, it could take a few days. It may help and it may not.
I was joking with a friend yesterday, "I fell like I have the Statue of Liberty shoved up my butt,and it has no intention of coming out". She laughed and laughed, thanked me for adding humor to her day, I told her there wasn't a funny thing about it, OH yes there is.....
