Anyone having less bowel movement

luvinke · April 2, 2008

I may be a little off of your subject but I find that I stay regular (I go at least 3 times a day), I'm not able to eat more than 5 ounces of food at each meal but I get in a lot of vegetables, I have a new craving for fresh collard greens now and will eat them as a snack since a snack has to stay under 100 calories. I also enjoy string Beans and broccoli at least 2 days a week. My main vegetable though is the fresh greens and I eat them probably 3 days a week.

My two year old granddaughter has always had these issues, and her doctor prescribed Miralax powder. It used to be a prescription, but it is now sold over the counter. She takes a half a capful in Water and drinks it every night. She calls it her "Poopy Juice". I had surgery and picked some up so I wouldn't have to take a pill stool softener. Adults just mix a capful with 4-8 ounces of any beverage.

Thanks for all your responses. I spoke w/the nurse at my DRs' office and she suggested I trY Benifiber. It has been one day and nothing, but i will give it a while longer.

HOW DO I ADD THE WEIGHT LOSS TICKET TO MY SIGNATURE?

Every once in a while I'll stop being regular. Otherwise it's daily or every other day. When I go for more than 3 days without a BM I'll drink a cup of Senna tea. You should be able to find it in any decent Vitamin store. It's not the nicest tasting tea, but it does soften things up without going to the other extreme and gets things moving again. :huh2:

I got my ticker from tickerfactory.com

doesn't benefiber also come with a Calcium plus product? I think that is a plus..

Sorry to hear about irregularity for everyone. I am lucky enough not to have issues, but once I begin to introduce additional foods it may hit me. So all this info is stored away for futrue use if needed.
