Re: Weight gain-constipation-predominant IBS       05/04/05 10:51 AM Edit Reply Quote michele Reged: 06/02/03 Posts: 6886 Loc: southeastern michigan It doesn't matter how safely I eat, I still have the bloat and pain. Some days the pain is so bad I have to take Vicodin every few hours! I am afraid of the scale, I've put on some weight recently and just don't want to know kinda thing! But, I've measured my tummy with a tape measure and it can bloat up to 8-10 inches very quickly! I too get very nauseous when it gets bad like that. I have a prescription for Donnatol, which is an anti-spasm medication with a mild sedative in it for the really bad cramps. It helps a bit but doesn't do a lot to be honest and it dries out my mouth and makes my vision blurry if I take very many. I also have a script for phenergan which helps with the nausea but makes me very tired. The Vicodin is strictly for pain. Its a narcotic and is addicting so use with caution. I take Miralax everyday which keeps the C under control mostly. I tried Zelnorm but built up a tolerance to it very quickly and it stopped working. Now I just keep the Zelnorm on hand for the really bad times. This diet does work for most people and it does help me but I haven't found anything to make it go away! Exercise does help, I currently take a water aerobics class which I really enjoy! also be sure to drink lots of water, very important for C people! -------------------- Taking it one day at a time.....
