Re: [QUAD-L] bowels

[John S.]

On a more serious note, I'm wondering if anyone has tried functional electrical 
stimulation to help their bowels and bladder to work better?
I used a rather large bulky FES machine back in the 70's to assist in bladder 
training. It seems it should work for bowels as well. I'm not sure where the 
electrodes should be placed.(that joke went through my mind too). Any ideas or 
information out there. I haven't used my tens unit since I had an aid with a 
sense of adventure. I'd love to think I could set it to pulse mode and get a 
stronger paristalsys action working. Any thoughts or comments?

The bowel is such a kewl subject.  Books have been written and millions of 
dollars have been made on
selling products that will temper, evacuate, retard and clean the bowels.  Yet 
people of all shapes and sizes continue to have problems, after all these 
years.  What you consume, will have a direct impact (lol) on your bowels 
whether you are a TAB or DAB.  Most bowels are all born the same way and begin 
to take shape when solids begin.  How one takes care of their bowels, or 
doesn't take care of their bowels will often tell in the end ( again, my 
humor).  Bowels speak or communicate with us, but do we listen?  Remember when 
you were a kid and had to go ??? Nothing stopped the process, but as we age we 
think we get smarter and learn to hold that which desperately wants to come 
out.  We think of it as discipline, your bowel thinks of it as torture and 
often lets you know one way or another.

Those who are not mobile or have impaired mobility sometimes require a bowel 
program.  The unfortunate part about it is... nothing is normal from that point 
on.

Let's see what your doctors says after the culture.

Re: [QUAD-L] bowels

[Quadius]

It does seem that way, but the Pepto helps control the bowel spasms and the
mineral oil allows the hard stool which proceeds the loose stool get out of
my system.  It isn't always there, but about 70% of the time I have some
hard stool just above the upper sphincter which can seriously prolong my
bowel program to the point where I need to use a second suppository.

And before any of you ask, I have tried the small mini enema product (for
some reason the name escapes me) and while it does work occasionally, it's
just not reliable for me.  I really wish you worked for me, but it doesn't.

Re: [QUAD-L] bowels

[Quadius]

Sure sounds like it was something to do with the food.

Now that you mention it, I have been getting a little more blood in the
mucus also, but this has happen occasionally even before I was having these
problems.
I sure hope you feel better shortly Silas.

Seems as if you're using conflicting methods?  Pepto and mineral oil?

It does sometimes, but it's not a constant.

I have been popping gasx quite a bit lately, but I'm not exceeding the
recommended dosage.  Not to mention the fact that I only get by by taking at
least one Pepto-Bismol tablet a day.  It does seem to help soothe the
problem.  Oh yeah, on the bowel regiment days I usually take mineral oil and
that really helps soothe the pain.

When I was at the hospital last I briefly saw a G.I. Dr. and now that I
recall she wanted a stool sample, but it was kind of hectic and a staff
never got one.  I'm going to call in today to see what I need to do in order
to obtain one.
Thanks again for the advice.

Have you discussed submitting a sample of your stool for testing for high 
bacteria?  Loose stool usually is related to gas.  The oatmeal should be 
absorbing a lot of excess liquids in your digestive system as it is processed. 
If you have a bug in your system, it should be cultured and tested. Maybe a

Re: [QUAD-L] bowels

[John S.]

Loose stool can be a side effect of many medications. Anti-biotics can cause 
both loose stool or constipation. One big problem many of us suffer from is 
letting it bother us to a point where it causes depression. It can really mess 
with us once it is that bad.
I agree with W about checking for bacteria that shouldn't be there. 
I do hope you feel better soon. Don't hesitate to let us know anything new you 
might learn. 
Best wishes,
john

And that is ok, and just because of that intolerance a stool sample test  
just might be in order. During those episodes of pain, is your belly expanding

Re: [QUAD-L] bowels

Have you discussed submitting a sample of your stool for testing for high  
bacteria?  Loose stool usually is related to gas.  The oatmeal should  be 
absorbing a lot of excess liquids in your digestive system as it is  processed. 
If 
you have a bug in your system, it should be cultured and tested.  Maybe a daily 
bowel movement might be better for awhile, maybe not.  I hope  you are using 
fresh milk with your oat meal.
Best Wishes

I am just about at wits end.  Once again my bowels have erupted in  pain.  I 
am racking my brain trying to figure out what it is that may be  causing this 
problem, but the only thing I can ID is that I did change my  probiotic 
(acidophilus) to one without dairy.  The sad part is it's  really expensive and 
right now I just don't know if it is the problem or  not. 
I have been a proponent of oatmeal and I take Metamucil on a daily  basis.  
Over the last couple of weeks I have been plagued with a burning  sensation 
that begins just below my belly region and extends all the way down  to the 
rectum.  I would think these are phantom pains, but my bowel  regiment has had 
nothing but loose movements for what seems like ages.   Even when my bowels 
seemed 
to be doing pretty well, which is that they aren't  in excruciating pain, I 
consistently have loose movements. 
Does anyone have any ideas?  I'm going to try to talk to my doctor  once 
again, but this happened last year from June through November and it was  the 
oatmeal once a day that finally got me through it.  This year I had  the 
problem 
from late June through the middle of August and I was never able  to identify 
what remedy the situation. 
I have written in before, but I'm almost willing to do anything  now.
