Re: Heather, here's the thing...       03/01/04 10:03 AM Edit Reply Quote Ash Reged: 09/10/03 Posts: 21 Loc: Bellevue, WA Evie, Have you tried taking magnesium? Just a little bit (500mg) can make a BIG difference because magensium helps bring water into the bowel like other stool softeners. My GI recommended this for me because my colonoscopy revealed some extremely sharp turns and narrow areas which can cause real trouble if they get blocked up. Taking a magnesium supplement is a more natural and less extreme way to go than taking full-on laxatives. It may be all you need along with perhaps cutting back on the insoluble foods like Heather was suggesting. Ash Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
