Thanks for your response. Last night was really bad. I did not go to the ER because everything seemed to calm down by about midnight and I was able to go to sleep...besides..they wouldn't be able to do anything for me except for maybe some IV fluids. I have very strong anti-nausea meds at home and even that didn't work.
Anyway I called the doctor and I also spoke to my pharmacist. They both said to continue the medication because I haven't given it enough time to work yet. Basically the bile that the medication binds up was just flowing right through me because of my hardly eating much, it didn't have anything to bind itself to. They stressed that I make sure I eat enough, and not just anything, like protein and binding foods... small meals throughout the day, which is difficult for me since I don't really feel hunger often anymore. I just took today's does about an hour or 2 ago after I ate dinner. I hope this episode does not happen again. I followed all of their directions.
I am sorry, yes, I do see where you taking the pro-biotic/digestive aid. I didn't at first.
Gosh, I would go the ER right now if I were you. You just cannot go on like this. Insist that they get to the root cause of the problem. Try to calm down, take some deep breaths, and then get to an ER or a weekend clinic.
Please keep us posted.
Here is a hug for you.
I really need help, I have suddenly lost control of my bowels. I'm about to start vomiting. I took the Questran around 5pm this evening...I can't figure out if that is what is causing this or what but I am very scared and don't know what to do.
It wasn't sitting in my stomach, it was sitting in my digestive tract. I mentioned that I take acidophilus pearls...those are a probiotic/digestive aid. I don't know if you caught that or not.
Actually, no, it is not normal to have undigested food sitting that long in your stomach. I would try a good pro-biotic and a good digestive aid. The pro-biotic will put the "friendly bacteria" in your system and the digestive aid will help to digest food that is otherwise hard to assimilate. I believe both can be taken safely with the drugs you are on. You should tell her about the blood in the stool however, sometimes that can mean more than digestion difficulties.
