Fibromyalgia Support Group

I tried to call my chiropractor but he was closed for the day, so I will call him tomorrow for the name of the cleanse that he gave me that helps tremendously. Monday i will get back hopefully have the answers!

Please dooooooooooooo Thanks so much... Your a doll!

I also want you guys to know... I have gone.. a llittle.. I am eating 4 fiber muffins a day. I took 4 fiber pills yesterday morning, and dranlk a ton of water. Its definatly not a laughing matter. I am very worriedc that It will just keep happening. The methodose started this,

so I switched to Morphine...it didnt help... I need to go on an normal everyday basis. used to go like clockwork. I woke up smaked, took two sipps of coffee, and off I went. If I go now its like the amount a squirrel would go. Its never routine, and I feel toxic. I got very very sick three weeks ago, and I know this had something to do with it. I was looking for advice on cleansing and if my PCP can help me with that. I would loose 20 lbs.. im serious.. I would feel so much better.................Also some of the home remedies work as well. .Like the olivce oil... I know that one, but forgot it.. So your replys are helping!1

Pleaae do...where do you live?

Well, I have trouble in this area as well or had at least. I had tried everything I could think of including suggestions above. I am not saying do not try them because they could work for you, but my doctor and I figured this one out. My first question is are you taking pain pills? If your problem is a side effect of pain pills it is likely that laxatives will not work. I still have to take fiber because I lack it in the diet I have to follow. My doctor told me to drink one ounce of mineral oil before bed everynight. It tastes gross and you can't drink after it because it can't be diluted, so I suck on a little mint or something afterwards. Let me tell you. It works unbelievably well. Your problem sounds severe as mine was so it may take a couple nights, but it should work. It does not give you any of the bad side effects of laxatives like gas and bloating and it makes it just slide out really easy. Magnesium did not work for me either so this is the only thing I can do. This is actually an old school remedy that seems to have been forgotten about, but I can't tell you how happy I was to find it. I agree that bowel problems like this are very serious and can have extremely bad results. My grandmother had a stroke from a blocked bowel and almost died. You want to make sure this is solved. Also you may want to consider a journal to keep track of things because I know I tend to forget if I have gone or not and when my problem became serious they found that in their opinion it had been at least 2 weeks since I had gone. Talk about ouch!

Thanks I know pain.. can you PM me, and let me know if i can get it at a regular pharmacy?

I live in Kansas. My chiropractor is from Topeka which is a 3 hour drive from me. But he is worth it. The mixture he has is with Vitamin C and its a natural cleansing method.

I eat a navel orange when I get bound. Works really great for me.

My sister eats a few appricots. My mother was a woman known not to go to have a movement for over 30 days. I'm glad I'm not like her.

Painfree this sounds scary to me. I hope it has improved. Please keep us posted. I also wanted to urge you to stay away from yogurt right now as it tends to be a binding thing, but maybe it's just me.

I thought I was the only one like this.. And yes it is embarassing too talk about.. , I eat salads fruits drink water.. almost every night per Dr's advice for several yrs... I have been taking Citrel and laxatives and it doesn't work for me either. As They say from my back injury muscle and nerve Damage, in my back it has effect my muscles in my rectum.. now they are saying my lining between the Rectum and Vagina is thinning that not to strain, not too build up, or no too manual push .. It is also effecting my bladder.. So I am not sure what too do any more ..or how too control all of this except go on a liquid diet.. Any Suggestions are welcome...All of the post above have been very interesting and very helpful..
