5-day pouch test round 2
Hey Joanie,
Started on Colase on Monday. At first I heard some snickering from deep in my bowels, then it turned to giggling and finally my colon went Bwahahahaha!
In the last couple of weeks, I've tried Colace, Sennacot, Dulcolax, Miralax, Fiber One, suppositories, enemas, raisins, prunes, Chinese herbal teas and everything short of dynomite. Believe it or not, the thing that gets me moving every time is reindeer sausage. Little tough to get reindeer sausage in the desert.
My grandfather had this problem, my grandmother and mother had colon cancer and my sister had ulcerative colitis and finally had her entire colon removed. I've been hospitalized with this at least 3 times. I gave up today and made an appointment with a gastroenterologist.
I do think you're on to something with the setpoint theory. I've heard that you can change your setpoint, but not sure how or if it's wise. Maybe your setpoint is your setpoint for a reason.
Hugs,
Connie
Im sorry I have seemed to cause an uproar with this little 5 day test...I just thought it might be fun to do as a group and maybe even get some of us back on track and away from some of the junk weve been eating. Tommorrow is my last day and after that I wont post nomore on it.I give us all a break....still got to say Good-Luck all to whoever wants to try.

Kimberly,
I think you should post about it and don't you dare be sorry for the uproar. And trust me, this ain't no uproar. Try coming on here and posting that you are thinking about having an extra-marital affair if you want to see an uproar. lol Remember that one, guys? I'm trying it and I plan to post my misery or success and I damn well plan to post if I succeed with a colon cleansing moment.

I'm glad that I've tried to do this pounch test thing. I might not have been perfect and I didn' texpect to lose alot of weight I just wanted to see if I could do it.
Its been a good experience and has gotten me back on track.
I'm still not perfect never expect to be but man I'm doing good! I'm writting things down. Everything I put into my mouth goes into the little book. That alone has made me stop and think before I put something taboo in.
So THANK YOU for suggesting it!
Its been great. Its also gotten alot of us to try soemthing new and talk about something different that is positive.
i do not plan on going back to cookies for at least anotehr week! eheheh
