RE: [TMIC] constipation
Regina I use Lactulose for 12 years now. It is good and safe. It keeps the bowel soft and easy to come out. It contains natural sugers wich make the proces fastener. If you use it a while you will notice that the bowel also hardly smell. It makes you more windy as normal, but because the fast process, here also no smell. I started with Lactulose, after a bowel bloccade, wich kept me in hospital for a week, and very painfull. In Hospital they gave me 90ml a day, during the bloccade. After that they recommand that I went on with Lactolose. Now I use normaly 30ml ones a day. But because of the fishoil I also take, it went up to 50ml a day. Take it just before a meal and some drink after. It workes very well. Wim from Holland.

Re: [TMIC] constipation
The sterorids were causing serious problems with constipation and not being able to "push" my Nero turned me on to a Herbal Tea called "Smoth Move" you can get it at any vitaman/herb shop. It's natural and great, does not upset your stomach (like a lot of pill and vegetable do), does not react to fast, and you can drink the amount your comfortable with. (Full cup was to much for me so 1/2 everyday.) -- Original message from "Mary Thompson" gor...@earthlink.net: -- I am affected up to my collarbone and it has affected my digestion. Regular fiber has the opportunity to move so slowly through me it dries up and creates aplug that becomes very dangerous.You canhave a piece of your intestine die and it will kill you quicker than you can believe. I use reglan (metoclopramide)to help my stomach empty. I use Miralax aka glycolax butnow generic(polyethylene glycol 3350) to move things through the pipe. It is not fiber, it is not absorbed by the body, it just slicks things along. You do have to adjust it as you get used to it so you don't have a blowout, but I just figured out how much to take depending on how much food I eat and it works great.I've been on this for about four or five years. I tried the other treatments and had so much trouble with cramps, lack of action and variability that this has been a dream for me. Best of luck. - Original Message - From: Regina Rummel To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2009 3:47 PM Subject: [TMIC] constipation Years ago, the doctor prescribed LACTULOSE to my mother after she had a stroke leaving her with major problems including a horrible case of constipation.

Re: [TMIC] constipation
Regina, my dr recommended Lactulose. It is a thick liquid (like cough syrup) tastes of oranges. It is mild but it works for me every time within about 8 hrs. I don't need to use as often as in the early days of TM but I wouldn't be without it. Where I live, it is not sold on the shelf but behind the pharmacy desk.

Re: [TMIC] constipation/diarrhea
Since I take HIV medications that does cause diarrhea so bad that even Imodium didn't help. So now I'm on one daily dose of Calcium tablet. I had tried two a day that cause constipation and one every other day cause diarrhea. The doses may different from person to person and TM to TM. Todd in CC, TX [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Cheryl, I got C-diff, can't remember the real name for it, but it totally messed up my gut and I had diarrhea for 2 months straight. I had the same problems that you expressed. I can relate to the horror that you go through, and I still suffer from this. This occured from the use of too many antibiotics when I was getting pneumonia several times per year. My system is still very touchy, and the doc says my system will most likely never be back to normal. I take probiotics to give myself the best shot that I can at a healthy gut, and eat yogurt almost every day. Anyway, anytime that I am having a flare-up with loose stools, which is a few days a week at least, and it's a day that I have to go out, I always take Ammodium which is supposed to help with diarrhea. It usually stops the problem, or at least keeps me from having to use the bathroom for a few hours. I never worry about constipation from it, as I don't have that problem.

Re: [TMIC] constipation/diarrhea
Do you eat any rice...??? I've noticed that when I have a large bowl of rice for supper, my bowels are firmer the next morning.

I would rather have constipation,cuz I wouldn't have to worry about going unexpectedly,and could take a laxative if I needed to. I think I'll try the metamucil,and hope it works.
