Quote: I have a choice between taking 3X 8 fluid ounces of fleet phospho soda OR 40 tablets with water...he does not need/want me to take that huge gallon thingy, which is a relief in itself. Which one is better? What do I choose?
I haven't taken the tablets, but I have taken the fleet phospho many times. My doctor said I could have anything that was clear, which ment jello and koolaid were on the list. That was a BAD combination with the fleet phospho! I still haven't had jello or koolaid since.
The next time I did it, I tried it with chicken broth and flat 7-up and did great. The chicken broth helped keep me full, even though it was just broth.
Quote: Also, my IBS has been draining me so much and no diet intervention seems to be helping - I am not one to pop pills but am at the end of my tether psychologically - he gave me levsin - how is this drug? I popped one this evening and it made me feel floppy and kind of blurry eyed but my belly seems callllllmmm (don't want to speak to soon but if it is I think I am going to dance around the room with joy!) - I had a long nap. Of course I hope the floppiness isn't a side effect and is just because my IBS had me up part of the night - but in all likelihood it is...so give me your experiences on levsin! He has told me to take it twice a day.
I LOVE levsin! It's the only thing that works for really bad attacks. However, it does cause the goofy drowsy feeling, so I don't really take it that often. Only if I start to have a really bad attack or if I am going to be somewhere where I really don't want to have an attack (i.e. airplane). When I was taking it regularly, the goofy drowsy feeling lessened - but since I only take it a couple times a month, I have to be careful that I'm not driving home or something when I take it. It is nice when my tummy is hurting at night - instant sleep.
