Hi everybody --I'd like to put in a good word for good-ole Metamucil, it's a miracle product. Many people do not realize it, but *whatever* your bowel problems are, it will help you. If your movements are too soft, it will firm them up. If they're too hard and you have constipation, it will soften them. It's such a great product!! You might have to take it 2-3 times a day, but it's pretty cheap. Be sure you get the Smooth texture one, the regular is horrible -- and be sure that the water you mix it in is fridge-cold, otherwise it will just gum up before you can drink it. Mix & drink immediately. The only problem with taking Metamucil is that you can't take it within a couple hours of any medication or supplements. Anything that's in your stomach when you take it can get caught up in it and get swept out of the body. So you have to arrange your schedule so you take it either an hour before or a couple hours after any medications. (And if you need to lose weight, take it right after you eat, it will sweep many calories out with it.)
take care -- Michelle ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Sent: Friday, June 01, 2007 8:27 PM Subject: Re: [TMIC] Renal problems Dear Franque et al, For four years I had diarrhea every time I ate a meal; the doctor said I had Crohn's disease, but I was in denial of having that and ignored him. Then I changed meds--from a high dosage of neurontin to lyrica and cymbalta. Now I have chronic constipation and I think the meds are to blame. I haven't been back to that doctor and don't plan to.
