Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | ABIGAIL re MOM and the rest........

Hi Abie,

I've just been reading your latest posts about MOM and 32 pills to take. Also thanks for your post to me hoping supplements are going OK.

I don't know why you should be having such a problem trying to lose water from MOM. I presume you mean Milk of Magnesia? I used it once and it was just a thick creamy white liquid with hardly any water in it. I added water to it, but it wasn't much.

The morning after I'd taken it I felt very hungover and yet that cleared once I'd had a BM.

I can see that you're really worried about taking the pills for the colonoscopy. I guess it's one of those things where you have to "feel the fear and do it anyway". It may not be as bad as you dread. From what others have said it's better than taking the liquid.

The main focus in all of this (I think), is to remember that the colonoscopy is to help find out what may be the cause of all your pain and problems. The pills are a horrible part of the process ~ but hopefully it will all be worth it in the end.

As for the acupuncture ~ one thing at the time ~ you need to get this diagnosis proceedure out of the way and take it from there.

Good luck Abie ~ with the pills and the colonoscopy itself. Have courage, and take strength from your faith and the fact that you are well loved. This is a passing phase and will not last for ever ~ the big picture is bigger than this moment!

With much love and warm hugs for you,

Joanna
