I DID IT!!!!

I dont think I need to explain this one but I FEEL BETTER J

Congratulations! Im glad everyting came out ok in the end (Im so punny)!!!

The other day on the TV they were talking about everyone thinking that taking fiber helps with constipation. WRONG.... Sometimes more fiber is actually binding and not a good thing. I have found "great relief" from Magnesium Citrate. You can get it at any drug store and it has been the one real thing that I have found that helps. I use a dixie cup for the first dose and if within a few hours it isn't enough, I take another dose. Usually getting 3 doses from a bottle. It is a staple in my fridge... It doesn't taste great but it does work ! (Make sure that you take it long enough that you are totally cleaned out...) I haven't ever gotten cramps or any of the other "normal" side effects so... Good luck... - Terri

Thank you i will try that. I have periods of the constipation. and when i do they are ROUGH! its so funny i used to have IBS and could go on demand now after the surgery its the opposite lol BUT IM NOT COMPLAINING lol J

Yeah! Good for you! My nutritionist told me to get this stool softener I forget the brand name but I just bought the Walmart brand cause it was the same thing just cheaper. Fortunately, I haven't had to use it yet. She gave us a few ideas at our last support group meeting and that was to add a tsp of granola or something like that to our yogurt or just to try to add in peanuts or wheat cereal or something like that. I keep a jar of peanuts at home and they do help me. Anyway, I'm proud of ya!
