Would rather not do the enema route, but maybe that's best.

Any other great methods??

I had a CT scan this a.m. .. stomach feels like it's concrete now.

PS, I can't tolerate Vitamin C. I've been taking stool softeners, Miralax, and magnesium.

Thanks. I found some dulcolax supps. Helped. Gotta find a list of high fiber foods. Probably stuff I can't eat!

Coffee enema? Detox tea? Lots of water and then more water. That's good drinking water, not enema water. I'm going to Walgreens tomorrow and I know I have distilled water on my shopping list. I will drink a gallon on Wed.

I'm in need of some major detoxing this week. Have I ever mentioned I HATE ABX?

I remember that nasty stuff.. but I am sorry I had the opposite problem with it... and it took a LONG time to get over it.

Tip- Keep a bathtub handy to sit in.. that stuff burns!!!

Sorry you are feeling like you swallowed a chunk of road pavement.

Please let us know how it comes out in the end.

NOT literally.. of course.. just how you got the cement moving. And I hope it does soon!

Keep dropping those drawers tutu... ok? Maybe that will help.

You're too funny!! [lol]

I think the Miralax is already helping. I have another weapon I'll bring out this evening. [Wink]

betty...not a colonoscopy...CT scan. Just gotta drink the junk and then they scan you. Lovely banana flavored CRAP.

Can we say CRAP on here??? [lol]

Hey Meggie....You made this thing go W-I-D-E .. you bad girl!!! [tsk]

Does this made my butt look WIDE??

I used to do Modified Barium Swallow Studies all the time (2-3 per day!).

I never used straight barium. It can be cut with water and not loose it's shadow on an x-ray.

Drink tons of water. Water, water, water.

That is what I used to tell my patients.

That is all I know.

Actually, my dog is on a product called enulose.

It is to make his stool soft. This is following a major surgery.

It draws water into the stomach and intestines to soften up the stool.

However, it does it with sugar.

That may help short term.

Hugs,

Geneal
