Well, I have been experiencing PVC's for the past three years. The past month they have become more frequent. I notice mine more after exercise. I did have a few today which I took as an off day from...
Ok, I am getting better and ate for the first time yesterday (mostly bland). I have been eating popsicles and soup. I have not had a BM since Saturday when I had three then the huge bout of...
WOW..., what a weekend. I was feeling nauseated on Friday, but ok to the point to eat. I woke up Saturday morning feeling fine ate two scrambled eggs and a small banana. Within two hours I was...
The past few days I have had gurgling around my belly, then all of a sudden I think I am going to pass gas, but instead I go to the bathroom and I poo which is mushy (sorry for being so graphic). I...
Is anyone taking this medication in replace of Zelnorm? Has anyone taken this and helped?...

Have you considered Allergy Shots? I went to an Allergist for four years and tried all different kinds of allergy meds, but nothing seemed to work. I changed doctors this past fall and he started...
I also have phlegm, but it is not all the time. I have more issues with it in the morning and I end up spitting. I have been on allergy shots for several months now and I do notice a big difference....
I agree! I do know we all have to realize we aren't all the same. I know I could really get myself worked into a panic attack if I thought I had what everyone else has. I like the suggestions to the...
Thanks I printed this out and I will read it this evening. I wanted to mention, my GI doctor's progress notes are untrue with somethings he wrote. Also, he even mentioned that he was not able to get...
Well, I am back on Zelnorm twice a day and also Glycolax which I take twice a day. I can adjust my dosage on Glycolax which I did yesterday. I have been going since last Friday. At first, my poo was...
Well-I am back on Zelnorm twice a day (started last evening) and glycolax twice daily. I just wish there was a quick fix! I am up to one Fiber Con pill a day now. I can't tolerate a lot of fiber or I...
It is not pain, more soreness to push. I have no fever and don't feel bad, just wish I could poop normal. I go, but I have to strain. You scared me by your post! Btw-I drink at least 12-14 glasses of...
Thanks Michelle!! Last August I mentioned changing my medication and my doctor mentioned Lexapro. I am sure he will mention this again to me. I hope it doesn't cause weight gain....
I have figured it out, I think. My problem is hard, dry, ball stools that doesn't want to come out, unless I strain. The only way I can describe it, is that there is no lubrication. I have had a sore...
I have been on Zoloft for my panic disorder, as I use to get panic attacks. I have been on Zoloft for 8 yrs in June and am going to the doctors today, to talk about other options. I think I need a...
I agree with you! There are days I can handle veggies, but then other days that my guts hurt. I started out taking 1 pill a day, but Monday I was gassy and felt yuck. Yesterday I took a half and...
I can totally relate to the person her started this post. I tend to get very emotional at times (thinking that I am dieing) and I will have a breakdown. I often sit and wonder "why me", it plain...
Yes, it is DA. My fiance found it and wanted me to buy it, but it didn't really state what was in it or what exactly it is used for? You stated it works well for you....could you explain?...
Does anyone take this and if so, has it helped? Also, has anyone tried the new OTC IBS medication? This weekend I had weird poo. It was like strings coming out (thin), but when wiped mushy. I guess...
caregirl-It sounds like I have exactly what you are experiencing. Last year, I had normal then all of a sudden loose watery. I am back and forth, but I would have to say more "hard stools". I have...
How much is plenty of water? I think 12-14 glasses a day is "PLENTY"!!! Thanks for posting a reply, I truly appreciate your insight! I might go back to Fiber Con? My GI started me back on Miralax,...
Thanks Keriamon-I have never heard of mineral water? I do have fiber in my diet and also I take benefiber as well. I might try metamucil, but what I have found in the past with Fiber Con or a generic...
Thanks, but I am allergic to all berries....
Could anyone comment if they have this? I do and it is so darn annoying. I am at a loss and am worried sick over this. This past weekend I had two normal bm's, but then today it was hard to come out,...
I probably would of went to the ER if your stomach hurt that bad. I never really had a stomach ache, but just plain miserable with GAS, BLOATING and nausea. My father passed away from a perforation...
I am going nuts!! I can feel the hard bm wanting to come out, but there is no lubrication. My Hematologist does not want me straining, so he has recommended Mineral Oil 2 tsp twice daily. I do...
How can I avoid Bananas? This is one source of my potassium! I like Plums, but I am not sure if they are even in season right now? No, I don't have prunes, but I do have two little cans of Prune...

I am going to see my gastro doc today.....to talk. I would like to know what testing I can ask for? Non-invasive first! Blood work also?...
Thanks! I will stay away from strawberries. I ate a few tomatos and have been fine....go figure....
Ok, I am fine for sometime taking my protonix, but I would like to go back to prevacid as I felt more results. Last evening I woke up with heartburn....I sleep with three pillows. Today, I feel like...
Ok, yesterday afternoon the "smelly" gas came, after almost a week without...go figure....we can't predict. The only thing I have eaten different yesterday was "strawberries"? Has anyone had any...
I took Zelnorm for a couple months started on 6 mg once a day, and continued on. At first, I didn't seem to have any relief, but I did notice it helped my gas...belly, but not my constipation. My...

Hmmm, I have been eating Yogurt, but that has never seemed to bother me, but I cut all other dairy out....
Yeah, it sucks! I feel so non normal......grrrrr!!!! I am taking a Hormone Therapy Drug.....Vivele Dot, but I had smely gas before that? I can go a few days with normal gas, then all of a...
The funny thing is, my stomach isn't upset! I had my poop tested three weeks ago, and nothing. I have not been tested for yeast overgrowth, and not sure how this is done? My poop doesn't smell bad,...
