One thing to do that is not very youthful and feminine is to wear Depends when you are having a full blown draino day. Just throw them away use a moist towelette and you're all clean again.

I have asked my doc and he says I can take up to 12 Immodium a day. After my 2nd or 3rd BM I take 3 then 3 more with the next BM up to 12 pills.

I also start drinking Gatoraid immediately and lots of water and then add crackers (I use the ones with non salted tops) you can do this all day to keep from starving. An empty stomaqch is not a happy one.

Since I have just joined this board, I will be adding the fiber.

My 2 staples are baked potatos--not with tons of dairy, but salt and/or microwaved frozen peas.

The second and MOST IMPORTANT is HOMEMADE broth from turkey drumettes, turkey legs and chicken wings ro legs. I add one onion some celery and lots of carrots (for sweetness and color as well as vitamins) fresh rosemary and thyme in a 12 QT stock pot.When the broth is done (after 5-6 hours)the meat is not edible and tastes like cardboard as all the good stuff is in the broth so it gets tossed.

Now I may try a small batch with fennel.

I strain and freeze in tupperware and then sealin bags with vacuum food saver after frozen.

I use this to make rice, soups or just drink.
