I PREFER THE OIL BASED, IT ALSO LUBRICATES BETTER THAN WATER.  I NEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET ON THAT PART, SINCE I CANNOT EXCERPT PRESSURE, EXCEPT BY BENDING AND TWISTING MY TORSO WITH MY ARM PUSHING AGAINST THE WALL OR SOMETHING LIKE A HAND RAIL   BOB FROM SPRING, TEX.     ----- Original Message ----- From: Stacy Harim To: [EMAIL PROTECTED];TMIC-LIST@eskimo.com Sent: 8/10/2006 11:24:09 AM Subject: Re: [TMIC] BOWELS I use magic bullets.  The only place that they can be bought is online.  They are water based instead of oil like the Bisacodyl  or Ducolax suppositories.  They work faster and most of the people I know with paralysis use them.  They were also recommended by my rehab doctor.  Oh and they are cheaper.  You can get a box of a 100 for 45 bucks here http://www.allegromedical.com/browse/ProductDetail.do?pid=190938&utm_source=MSN&utm_medium=ppc&utm_term=magic%20bullet%20suppositories.   Stacy ----- Original Message ----- From: ROBERT COOK To: TMIC-LIST@eskimo.com Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2006 5:55 PM Subject: [TMIC] BOWELS I HAVE A ROUTINE EVERY OTHER DAY, WAKE UP, USE DUCOLAX SUPPOSITORY, WAIT ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND HEAD FOR THE THRONE.  IT TAKE 30 MINUTES TO AN HOUR TO FINISH, BUT WORKS WELL FOR ME.  I ALSO DRINK COFFEE WHILE WAITING FOR IT TO WORK BEFORE GOING TO THE THRONE ROOM AND WHILE IN THERE.  WARM FLUIDS HELP THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM GET STARTED.  WITH THIS ROUTINE, I ONLY HAVE TWO OR THREE ACCIDENTS A YEAR, AND THAT IS BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET BACK HONE TO MY THRONE IN TIME WHEN THINGS WERE A BIT OUT OF WHACK THAT PARTICULAR DAY, FOR SOME REASON.  IF YOU RECALL, YOU HAD THESE OCCASIONAL  DAYS BEFORE TM, BUT WERE ABLE TO GET TO A BATHROOM IN TIME.   JUST MY 2 CENTS, HERE.   BOB FROM SPRING, TX         ----- Original Message ----- From: To: [EMAIL PROTECTED];[EMAIL PROTECTED];TMIC-LIST@eskimo.com Sent: 8/8/2006 4:45:07 PM Subject: Re: [TMIC] HMO's The only medicine that work for me is Bisacodyl (suppositories) I can last 9 day with no bowl movements, but daily use of bisacodyl is helping a lot it work among 30 min to  1hr, and am always ready with it starts doing its job, sitting on my specail chair, spend almost an hour but most of the time works great for me.   Juan     In a message dated 8/8/2006 2:39:30 P.M.

As Ann said -- the "fun" part starts with those pills. :-) The procedure itself is a breeze. I was afraid of having an "accident" on the way (though I didn't see how anything could have been left) so took a change of clothes and a towel to put on the seat of the car "just in case," but all was ok. From the time I started the pills I tried to stay no more than 3 steps from the bathroom. I put in a video I had been wanting to see for a while to help take my mind off things, which helped, except that now whenever I see that video I think about getting ready for a colonoscopy. :-) But just for a few minutes.   Hope all goes well tomorrow and that everything is fine!   Barbara H. http://barbarah.wordpress.com/   In a message dated 8/8/2006 4:30:47 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I am having a colonoscopy tomorrow due to awful bowell problems for over 1 month.  I start my fun laxative pills (no more nasty liquid) in one hour.  Have been fasting since 9:00am.  Procedure tomorrow at 11:40am My probs are probably antibiotic related (antibiotic colitis caused by being on antibiotics for over two months), but doc wants to do one anyways for precaution.  This should be fun.  HaHa   -Sandy B. in Charlotte     Juan M Flores 11773 Two Towers Dr El Paso, TX 79936 Tel: (915) 856-3392
