I've been reading this board for some time and the posts are so helpful. Thank you all. I've had problems on and off for years and now realize there are lots of fellow sufferers out there and some treatments to try.
I've been using soluble Beneful and Fiber Choice, drinking mint tea etc., and following the diet and my d is much less frequent, although I'm sure it's waiting for me to eat a salad.
However the awful thing is, I still wake up every morning way too early with the urge. It sometimes starts at 4:30 am. I get cramps, have to go, then try to go back to sleep but the cramps keep returning and I have to get up over and over again until after about the 3rd time, I give up and get up.
Have you had this problem? Is there a solution?
My pencil thin movements are pathetically unsatisfying. I wind up reading the message boards, playing computer games and being annoyed at sitting in the dark when I really should be asleep. THis has been going on for about 3 months.
We're about to leave on a cruise -- our first real vacation in many years. I'm stressed about leaving home and tense about flying and also what to eat on the plane and ship. I'm packing instant oatmeal and applesauce and rice and soy milk. I should be happy to be going on this trip and I'm so annoyed to be having this problem. Also wonder if my ambivalent feelings about going in the first place are causing my guts to rebel.
Thanks so much for listening. What do you guys think?
