Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi
You might want to just take the afternoon off from commitments, and stay home. When I took the phospho-soda, I took one dose at noon, and it started to work within 20 min/half an hour. I spent the rest of the afternoon running to the bathroom. Then at 5pm, I downed the rest of the soda, and spent the evening until around midnite running to the bathroom. I figure you'd need at least 12 hours free. Then it was hard to sleep because I felt nauseated, faint, weak, and had to go to the bathroom a few more times. I think some folks recommend drinking something to replace electrolytes that your body loses through this process (causing weakness), and of course, drink lots of water or soothing herbal teas. Good luck! Hope you have a good book, and a movie to settle down with between trips to the loo!
