Re: I am new...HI! and have questions for other 'C' types!       07/14/04 01:25 PM Edit Reply Quote daliatree Reged: 07/10/04 Posts: 1176 Loc: Manhattan, New York hey there I consider myself a constipation expert and am very proud of the fact that in the ten years I have had ibs I have never once got hemorroids or bleeding from forcing...the longest I went without a poo was a month!!! anyway...my tricks... I have insoluble fibre in my diet..no more then three slices of wholewheat bread a day (or bloating starts), no more then 60g of wholewheat crackers a day, simple salads, vegie soups, I don't mix starches and protiens (chicken and rice together for example...makes me bloated). If I know I have to be out of the house at a certain time I always wake up with LOTS of time to drink a big glass of water upon waking, or hot peppermint tea, and then literally sit on the toilet. Sometimes I am lucky enough to wake with the urge to go, but if not, I usually feel the weight of poos in my rectum and sit nice and tall with a good posture on the toilet...read...(womens magazines and recipe books are my favourite)...and give it time. Deep breathe...NEVER force.... I find it hard to poo in a place where I know others will notice I am gone (family dinner etc) or if someone else is waiting to use the toilet, forget going!!! hahahha....I was staying with my brother and his family for a month and my gorgeous ever understanding husband would drive me to the Hilton so I could sit in a toilet for as long as I liked whilst being anonymous!!! I also find I have more luck going after a meal...so I'll often disappear then too! For me, if I have sugar, white flour products and general junk food you can forget me pooing for days....I have to stick to wholegrain which apparently will help me live a long time too!!! Good luck!! -------------------- Feel the fear and do it anyway! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
