Hi Cyndy,I hope you are doing better!Right now, I'm doing one dose of miralax a day, and eating what the hospital calls power pudding, a mixture of pureed prunes, flax seed, and bran. It actually tastes pretty good. I also get a small bowl of oatmeal for breakfast. I eat the hospital's high fiber diet, not high by our standards, maybe 20 grams a day. Additionaly, I've been drinking decaf coffee(and loving it ) , along with some regular cappaccinos at times, which I've found delicious. Like I said in my latest post, it's got me going regularly, but I'm still having to strain a fair amount which my rehab doc says I can't afford to do anymore. My BP readings have been over 150/90 after BM's. This is all due to my perineal descent problem, which when I told my GI doc's associate made his eyes bug out and say WHAT?! He immediately said to take down my fiber intake significantly and just use Miralax and more of it as needed. He was quite surprised that the problem had not been adress- ed considering my GI doc here and in Chicago have known about it since the end of last May. It is the reason why I've had to dance around to generate BM's and squat in order to poop them out. Right now, my rehab doc is upping my Paxil dose by 50%, and has me taking 2 Zanax a day, in order to stop the straining. -Bob
