Subject: [QUAD-L] bowel program

When do you do your bowel program?  I mean time of day.  How often? What things 
do you use to help move your bowels like senecot, miralax, metamucil?  Any 
simple things like all bran cereals or activia yogurt.  
I ask because I recently had to have abdominal surgery because of an ileus and 
have to radically rethink how I manage my bowels.  I had heard that quads can 
develop a mega-colon because of reduced motility in the bowels.  A normal 
person's colon is 6 feet long.  Mine is 12.  Here's the thing - nobody seems to 
know if that's abnormal.  I guess the number of 30 year quads that have had 
abdominal surgery is small.  Anyway I used to do my bowel program 
Monday,Wednesday Friday.  I was taking metamucil twice a day and on bowel 
program days I took a magic cleanse and 2 senecot.  I ate bran cereals and 
activia yogurt every day too.  
What do you do?
