Strange Me....       11/25/05 09:48 PM Edit Reply Quote Bevvy Reged: 11/04/03 Posts: 5918 Loc: Northwest Washington State Okay, I'm a strange one. I can't tolerate ANY SFS, and God knows I tried 'em all -- and for a long time! Probiotics did nothing for me. I used to take 1,200mg. Calcium every day for over 20 years, but now my tummy can't tolerate more than 600mg. I had a bone density test which thankfully showed I didn't need more than 600mg. Yaay. NuLev did nothing for me. Ditto with Hycosyamine (sp?). I have a problem with UTIs, but discovered that my tummy can't tolerate any antibiotics except one. Oy. I had my worst attack from the antibiotics, far worse than any Snickers attacks or even Dead Cow Carcass (which, BTW, I've discovered I can tolerate quite well now!).... Now, having said all that, here are my drugs of choice: Believe it or not, if I'm stressed or anxious about something coming up, I found a little JD -- that's right, a LITTLE -- Jack Daniels calms down the colon. If I'm having a slight attack, then I turn to Equalactin. It's OTC, and although it claims it's for constipation, which I've never had in my life, it settles my tummy when my attacks aren't bad. Okay, for serious attacks, I pull out the Big Gun -- Donnatal. It's dangerous stuff, 'cause it's Phenobarbital, very addictive, very habit-forming; thus, I reserve it for ONLY those occasions when the Equalactin won't work and I'm doubled over in bed in the fetal position wanting to die. The Donnatal takes 1-1/2 hrs. to "kick in," but it works EVERY SINGLE TIME, without fail. Thankfully, I haven't had to take Donnatal for a very long time now, and in fact, I had to throw out my old prescription because it had expired. Isn't this fun!? -------------------- <img src="http://home.comcast.net/~letsrow/smily3481.gif">Bevvy Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
