Todd, you should have a managed bowel program. I can't recommend the best for you as I don't know your personal medical history. I don't know your level of function either. I do know what can happen to your body or anyone else's body when they fail to have a "regular" bowel movement. There are some purist and naturalist who feel that a person should have a bowel movement after every dinner or 3 times a day. Consider your habits before you became a C6. Your waste is toxic and you should have a bowel movement, once a day or every other day. I realize that you may need help or assistance and I don't know how often assistance is available for you. What bowel program gave you so much trouble before? What product did you use before? Duxolex? Best Wishes W In a message dated 2/5/2009 12:53:08 P.M.

Are there any quads out there that don't have a "bowel program?" I am an incomplete c-6 and stopped doing programs after a few years because of the discomfort. I have been injured since '89 and basically just wait until I get the sensation to go, and then get to a bathroom. The problems is that I am not going on a regular basis and sometimes a week will go by between movements. I am afraid of taking any kind of stool softeners for fear of diarrhea. This is another subject but I went last year for a colon cleanse and it felt really good to know that all that excees waste is out of my body. Todd D **************Great Deals on Dell Laptops.
