Time To Get Things Back In Motion

The title of today's subject cracks me up! I really do mean this literally. This may be TMI to some, and if so I apologize. I have been backed up before surgery due to the amount of protein we take in and I am still having this problem. I searched the message boards and found a topic that discussed this already. So I will be attempting to use either Miralax or Benefiber. I think the Miralax will provide some relief and the Benefiber will help with fiber until I can consume more through eating. I am drinking as much water as I can.

 

On a side note in Houston, it is time for the Livestock Show and Rodeo, with the carinival. So there is a lot going on with food, drinks and good times. Funny thing is that I am not even hungry nor do I have a desire to eat that food. Every year we go the barbecue cook off and this year we skipped it. I thought I would be a bit upset about not going, but no. My health and well being mean so much more!

    I vote Mirilax all the Benefiber does for me is give me more gas. I also tried probiotics and all they did was give me more gas. make sure you are drinking all your water this helps also. I have decided I will never be regular again, I don't think I eat enough fiber, I tried fiber tablets but again gas. Good luck.

    I use a tea called Smooth Move. Drink it at night and I go in the morning. I drink it every couple of days. Fiber bulks me up so much. I am thinking I should just get used to having some help in going to the bathroom.
