Enemas!

An enema like you would buy at a pharmacy will clear out the lower part of the colon. Colon cleanse products blow out everything. For myself, I'm not a fan of such products since you lose so much "good bacteria" in the process. Some of those "cleansing" products contain bentonite, which won't hurt you, but causes some fairly spectacular results in the toilet - intended to convince unsuspecting people that they have a problem and fool them into buying more product. You can achieve a complete colon emptying by using over-the-counter products, if you really think it's necessary: magnesium citrate, Fleet's phospha soda, etc. Maybe someone will come along with more info, but it's my understanding that gastroparesis refers to stomach emptying only - not intestinal motility. I understand your desperation.

Colon cleansing products--even the ones that doctors prescribe for colonoscopies--can be pretty painful for people with a lot of constipation because you'll end up with hard stool impacted down low in the colon, and then all this soft stool will build up behind it and be trying to push it out. If you feel the need to flush yourself all the way out periodically (some people with chronic constipation will plan a cleansing around when they need to do something and don't want to be suffering from constipation all the time--like a wedding or vacation), you need to start with a small amount of laxatives and work your way up. Someone on here who was bad C all the time took, I think it was, three days to take all of her laxatives prior to a colonoscopy because her doctor said taking them like for a regular person would be too miserable for her. You might start with an enema to get the lower part moving a bit, then start with the laxative to try and push stuff through from the top down. Unfortunately, motility problems are hard to overcome, even with laxatives, because it's not a stool moisture problem, but it just not moving.

Friendlygal,
Like what's been mentioned before... Maybe you could start with an over the counter laxative. Or even the Fleet phosphosoda. I used the Fleet to prep for the scope and it cleaned me out good. You probably don't even need to drink the entire dosage either (6 bottles) - maybe 1/2 would be enough to get things moving for you.
Good luck!

I hated the enema it hurt and when i squirted the liquid into me i was like WOA! its cold i did not like it at all i had a firm squeeze on it and i thought i got all the liquid out but no i didnt just the AIR!

nst114, that makes me scared to get an enema. So i better get this out of me in some other way!!

oh, i mean that i'm gonna try to just eat the right foods and exercise and hope to create bowel in that way.  i might not be able to do that, but i'd rather do it than have an enema.  I'll try to hang in there until my GI visit!
