Michele, I am totally experiencing your agony. Having stopped Nexium, my D is decreased. Pepto. stops fluid from entering your stomach/g.i. tract, so, if you can stop using Pepto. more fluid will hydrate your gut & things will pass less painfully. The lactose-free generic Gravol is really helping me with the nausea. Ditto for the flat gingerale.
However, if you cannot at the moment, don't worry about it.
Isn't the throbbing awful, though! I haven't used Pepto. in
well over 24hrs., so the pressure is significantly subdued.
I can feel fluid being absorbed by my gut and I can walk around, etc., with less pain & spasms. So, now the poop is being hydrated (watch me get a water rush!) and will continue to pass less painfully. Now the trick is not to get dehydrated (my urine has been REALLY DARK) and the poops that have shot out so far have been kind of brown/red. (No, I haven't been eating carrots/sweet potatoes/squash. No, it's not Benefiber which I stopped because it makes my D worse.) Maybe rosehip tea?
Anyways, Nelly is right. Put your feet up and treat yourself royally. Drink lots. Lots of soft foods (chunks are hard to pass with those rectal spasms. I'm having them too--it's like somebody short circuited my whole lower back--cervical spine to rectum). Thank goodness for naproxen.
Kate.
