Thanks for your reply. Interesting about the Zelnorm as I have been on it for a little over 3 weeks now and questioning whether it is the cause of some of the cramping, and not even getting a BM from it.
I too was D for about 3 year! Chronic D, like 5 to 7 times a day, and popping immodium like candy. I hate to say it, not to offend D folks, but I miss going too! Hard to say which is worse. Both stink! And the pain and cramps come with both! I cannot believe how I went from chronic, dibilitating D to this painful, agonizing C! Bodies are so screwed up. Wish they could just reach a happy medium!
I do sip tea all day, but probably not takng in as much as I think. How much water do you drink a day?
Also, have you found an exercise that is especially helpful? Finally, what do you think about the colace and flax seed? And do you agree that fruit is bad right now?
Sorry given you so many questions. This C has made me more demanding of others than usual! I usually don't like to bother people with my constant questions. But I'm in such bad shape, my bad feelings have outweighed my etiquette!
