Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Hey, Michelle--I totally empathize!

I'm having one of those C attacks--and I know it's gonna be D.
Can I say, it feels like trapped D? I cannot stand up right, either!

My Nexium D attacks are gone, though! But holy cow, I think the Immodium & Pepto. really plugged me up. I was dreaming of a big box of poo flakes versus potato flakes(I think Maria messed up my dreams, lol!). Haven't had a really solid formed one in well over a week. My problem, though, is I'll have one formed bm & then a sequence of gravy. It's like "popping the poop plug" if that makes sense.

Indeed, trapped D makes me nauseated. Actually, if my bms have been predominantly D, the first few solid ones REALLY hurt. My bowel/pelvic floor muscles lose tone when things have been D. So, in a way, this A-ness is good. Yes, it's definitely a mashed potato poo. (okay, enough gross-ness!)

Oh, hot gingerale sounds really GROSS. Maybe try club soda or mineral water at room temperature. Seriously, cool beverages don't stimulate the gag-reflex.

I think we've A'ed ourselves! Seriously, though, for the nausea, (lactose-free) Gravol works like a charm.

Kate.
