Re: For Syl       10/15/07 08:58 AM Edit Reply Quote rhopko Reged: 10/09/07 Posts: 7 Thanks very much for your reply. I do drink coffee in the morning and it is the one thing that helps me go to the bathroom. If I do not drink it, I cannot go at all. As far as the suppositories go, I was advised by both the Mayo and my GI doc that glycerin is ok and to use them as much as I need. I'm sorry for getting so graphic here but I am unable to empty out completely and this gives me horrible and foul smelling gas. My inability to eat an even somewhat normal diet and the gas has completely disrupted my life. I cannot eat out anymore because of my diet restrictions. I used to travel all over the world and now I am afraid to be away from home for any length of time. If I have bad gas I cannot be around people and often have to stay locked in my room until I can get it under control. Using the suppositories gets me emptied out and then I do not have gas (as bad or as foul smelling) and can at least have some semblance of a normal life. At this point, I guess I feel like even if they are habit forming I don't care because I don't have a life without them. It is the only approach that has worked at all and I have been struggling with this since 2003. Needless to say, I am very depressed about all this. Fiber does not help me at all and in fact makes my gas, pain and bloating about 100 times worse so I have to eat a low fiber diet which, I know, adds to my constipation. Hence, the Miralax and suppositories. I have eliminated about everything I can at this point and will now concentrate on fructose as well. I am hoping that eventually I will become somewhat stable and be able to start adding some things back in...but right now I am not stable. I know I sound desperate and I am!!
