|  Woooooow It Works........
Hello Every One ......
For The Past 2 Months And 1/2 After My Surgery I Can Count The Times A Have Been Able To Go #2 .
It Has Been Horrific ...the Pain, The Hemorrhoids And The Countless Hours Spent Siting Waiting For It To Happen...
I Had Discussed This With My Doctor Several Times ..for Which He Recommended I Drink Mineral Oil, Activia Yogurt,benefiber,enemas And Of Course Drink More Water......
Well Let Me Tel You All That I Tried All Of Them And Still I Would Find My Self Sobbing Every Time A Had To Go....
I Never Had Any Problem With Hemorrhoids To Tell You The Truth I Did Not Even Now How They Looked...the Firs Time It Happened After A Very Painful Bowel Movement I Really Tot I Had Ripped My Colon It Was Horrific....
Any Way Now For The Good News..........
This Last Time A Went To The Doctors Office I Again Told Him Of My Horrifying Experience....but This Time He Prescribed (hyfiber Liquid Fiber ) This Product Is Amazing...... I Drink 2 Ounce A Day And It Has Worked Wonders....today A Went #2 After 7 Days And Only 2 Days Of Drinking This Wonderful Product ..i Am Happy To Report It Was A Pleasant Experience No More Pain Or Harden Stools It Passed Completely Normal , I Will Keep Drinking This Product It Works Wonders...
Nutrition Facts= 11 Grams Of Soluble Fiber For Every 1 Ounce
It Tasted Great And You Can Mix It With Any Hot Or Cold Foods Or Beverages...
Any Ways Check It Out ....

I know how that situation can be. I had a few of those in the beginging. I now use Mirlalax and it works wonders too. Its a tastless powder that you can add to any drink and it really works.

early on diarrhea sure thing....but once the body adjusts and you get solids going...bm's every 2-3 days not uncommon..
now far out post...changes happen. With my wide stoma and food going right into the intestine my foods move along too quickly quite often. which is irritating to be going 2 times a day or more..but combine that with the stenosis..periods of things being stopped up too.
urrgg!

|  I can't imagine
since my surgery three weeks ago it seems like anything i eat enters and exits within ah, maybe 1/2 hour. i am progressing my diet pretty quickly. i eat a lot of high protien lean cuisines and of course the protein shakes. i had a lot of ibs issues before surgery and went through quite a bit of immodium but i'm affraid to take that now. does anyone know if it's safe? cangelski | |
