if you can't satand it, immodium works

[jddancy]

You guys crack me up!!!  I work with special needs children and they all tend to be very gassy, some meds some it is who they are, love it for this reason!!!  But too early on you have to be so careful that it is gas, lol.  I am with Avalanche, let it flow.  It reminds me of all the toxins I put in my body.  I was so used to it being like a rabbit if you know what I mean that it is a nice change.  Weird subject but only on here,hahaha!!

I had the same problem.    A friend of mine, also a nurse, who works in the "guts and butts" practice told me to use Metamusil or a similar fiber supplement.   I know it seems counter-intuitive to take a product designed to stimulate bowel movements.   I'm guessing that the fiber absorbs the excess water in the bowels.

Anyway, I was clean for 30 days and had the runs the whole time.   I relapsed (stupid!) about a month ago, and am now going CT once again.   Part of the reason I relapsed was I just couldn't deal with having the runs at the most inconvenient times.    With the Metamusil, I'm having much less gastro distress.   Doesn't do anything for the aches and pains though..

dave, you make me proud

[Avalancheblanche]

Dave, you are so wonderful!  A wealth of information.  
Lots of fluids too.  It will get better.  Your body has been thru a lot.  Give it some special lovin.  Like Dave said, walks....water.....vitamins.  Hot baths were and are my favorites.

Toxins are throughout your entire body. Take walks too. It moves the lymph system which is a part of your bodies waste system. There is 3 times the fluid in the lymph system as there is blood.

[Avalancheblanche]

LMAO!  Try to keep the gas explosions outside!

[worried878]

just hate everyone else having to smell my nasty habit that I gave up!...I think I am expelling poison...I bet if someone lit a match it would blow the whole hospital up!

[Avalancheblanche]

Oh, girl, let it flow!!!! It must be good for you system!  You are ridding your body of a lot of sh***
Relish in your new clean colin! LOL

[GoingToMakeIt]

BRAT diet? Bananas, applesauce, rice and toast. Lots of bananas. they help to constipate.

[worried878]

I know....my son left the room last night and today at the hospital I was walking with a nurse and she said "boy, one of these patients smells awful"   I am like....I hope it wasnt me!

[bandnmom]

It does get better. For the gas...if you have a dog in the house that helps. Blame the dog! LOL!!!

[Avalancheblanche]

You will be driving around town looking for your colin for a while! LOL  It will get better.  Consider it a cleansing!  I am day 25 and it is much better now.
