hello you people out there. This is my first time blogging. I wanted to share abit of my experience w/ you and hope this may help. So a long story short. I am a 30 year old female. For 15 years I had stomach problems. The last 4 years have been the worst.  I would only have a bowel movement every 2 weeks. Bloated all the time. And the gas could have been used in military opt outs. Uncomfortable, embarrassing, headaches and greatly fatigued. For me it was debilitating. I told myself to never give up. I spent lots of money on research for myself. I learned alot of wonderful things as far as herbs, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants and superfoods go. I'm an all for natural kind of girl. But when nothing helped I thought it could be something more serious that I could cure soo my stubborn butt went into the doctor. Tests, and tests and more tests.  I gave my self to them and said please fix me, opting myself to medications. Taking fibers, laxatives, miralax, amitiza etc.... I was very frustrated because yes certain things would work, in a harsh way. But this is not how my body was made to naturally work. Now I know that everybody's body is different and any form of IBS or gastrointestional problems could be more medically serious than others. I'm not a doctor. In the midst of all this a lady I work with overheard me talking about my issue.  And told me everymorning before you eat anything, drink a little bit of warm water, and eat a salad, (any kind of green lettuce) with only extra virgin olive oil with a little bit if salt and pepper if you like. So I went to the store and bought romaine, spinach leaves and fresh parsley. Every morning w/ 2 tblsp of the olive oil. Excuse the pun but I &#*! you not. Soo far every morning I go normal 2-3 times a day. If I knew it was as easy as that. 15 years of nothing to soo far everyday. I'm really happy. I hope this might be of help to anyone out there. The tummy is our core that gives love to the rest of our body. Take wonderful care of it.

P>S   If you chew gum. Try to give it up for a couple of days. It should also help to have no bloating or gas.

My Mom is on this medication, but it is the lower dose.

She has been on it since Wednesday, and the side effects are bad.

She has acid reflex already, and this medication makes it ten times worse.

She is also feels like she is going to vomit all day, and sometimes does.

I’ve suffered from constipation for 15 years and believe me I’ve had my share of depression with that too.  I'm a 53 yr old woman, 125 lbs, 5'7".   I’ve seen enough doctors too, I’ve had all the tests, including the xrays with the markers and the defography. I’ve tried the drugs from the mild laxatives to Zelnorm to Amitiza. Nothing worked.  I’d go as long as 3 weeks before I would have a BM, then I'd give in and then I’d have to take 3 strong laxatives.  Those 3 weeks were painful. Just awful waiting around for something to happen, feeling more and more bloated, not being able to button my pants as the weeks went by. The left side always hurt the most.  Finally I’d give myself an enema and I’d have relief.  This went on year after year. I was miserable and depressed. Four doctors told me I needed to have part of my colon removed due to a motility problem.  Since I had been using the enema all those years, I worried that I was doing serious damage to my colon.  I gave it one more try with another doctor. The 5^th doctor told me if continued to use the enema every day, that it would not hurt me and that I did not need to have part of my colon removed.  Well that was all I needed to hear. I went home and decided I needed to change my thinking.  I had to come to terms with it and accept it and that it was going to be okay. It was going to be a routine like brushing my teeth.  I could deal with it. Other people have a BM every day, well, so was I. Only I was going to do it a little differently.  And it was no big deal.  So now, I don’t wait until I am in pain, I just do it every day (in the morning before my shower).  I get up 30 minutes earlier and I don’t think about it anymore. It’s easy.  It’s actually my quiet time. I’m not depressed anymore and I finally got my life back.

This is what I have been doing that seems to work 60-80% of the time.  I take Miracle Fiber (inulin) in my morning coffee, I take one Flora Smart probiotic 30 minutes before lunch along with 2 fiber tabs, then 2 fiber tabs before dinner, and Miracle Fiber in either hot water or decaf tea before bed.  It's a lot to remember, but it seems to work most of the time.  If I don't have a BM for 2 days, I will supplement all this with one bottle of water containing Kellogg's All-Bran Fiber Drink Mix (ice tea flavor) and/or add a scoop of Garden of Life Super Seed to a bowl of cereal.

Miralax gave me bad cramps.  Probiotics seem to help -- they put more good bacteria in my lower intestine.  It got so bad awhile back that I actually had e-coli in my vagina and had to be on and off antibiotics.  It took a great uro-gynocologist to discover that my frequent vaginal infections were actually a result of my constipation.  Does anyone have these as well?
