Well,I have never heard of being fed but I have to say the rest of your experience is nothing like mine and I have had 3 .First there are much easier preps now and there is no reason why you had to...
I keep Salon Pas or the Walgreens pain patches on hand and will put those on if I get leg cramps. Sometimes I have to put three on one leg but it stops the pain quickly till morning when I take them...
The reason they have most the limits on drugs like the PPI's is that they are afraid people will self medicate and not see a doctor to see if something more serious may be going on. The have had that...
I don't think this test is a good thing because if you have polyps you want them removed before they become cancer. You have no idea if you have polyps unless you have a colonoscopy. They are so easy...
Has anyone had this? It is called a UGI with small bowel and your drink the barium while they move you around to see how it goes thru your system. AFter that you have to stay and then they take more...
Well, I have a constipation issue so don't think the Magnesium might make that worse. As for the feet somedays it is terrible and other times I don't have it at all. I will see my Vascular surgeon...
There is a simple test for circulation that many hospitals give free. That is where mine was diagnosed but I had pain walking. If you take anything that has a steroid in it that will cause the toe...
Has anyone that had this pain ever had it diagnosed as a ciruculation problem? I do have a circulation problem in both legs, one quite bad due to a blocked stent but this foot thing feels totally...
I have been reading up on the different preps and find all of them have some problems. I never had a problem with the Fleets Phospho soda. My procedures are in the afternoon so I took one at about 5...
Reglan increases the motility of the stomach so that things pass more quickly thru the stomach and intestine. It probably was the cause of problems as with the prep you probably didn't need the...
I just scheduled my colonoscopy and they gave me a choice of drinking a liter of bad stuff the night before and then another liter in the AM or the Osmaprep 14 pills the night before, 4 at a time...
You could be getting too much fiber and since this started after you started the diet that may be the problem. I would think that you would lose weight on a vegetarian diet. I have never seen a fat...
The peppermint capsules help me very much though they may increase a little acid reflux. Bloating is caused by swallowing air, drinking carbonated beverages, acid reflux or slow moving digestive...
ARe you sure there is such a test? other than a colonscopy or barium enema I don't think I have ever heard of anything. I don't think CT scans show much of the bowel....
I would take the Probiotics for awhile after the colonscopy. I hope you find some answers. Maybe they will be able to with the scope. I assume you have had CT scans....
You need to stop both drinking and smoking if you have gastritis, especially drinking. You don't need to stop forever but you should stop for a least a few weeks and see if it heals. Gastritis can...
You said you had been eating salad that will gas me up worse than anything....
I have been given a number of drugs like that but never that one. Is that available in the US? I have had Bentyl, Hyosycomine and one other that I can't remember but have never known anyone that was...
mbw, you mentioned lots of vitamins. Are you sure it is not some of the vitamins making you nauseated? They really do a number on me. I have slow motility also but my nausea is usually early in the...
Have you tried increasing your Calcium? That is something that is mentioned often. I think it is Calcium Carbonate. Your situation may have nothing to do with something that probiotics would help. If...
Something totally threw your stomach out of balance and it can take a long time to get back to normal. I would stick with chicken, fish, potatoes, noodles and rather bland foods for awhile and not...
I had one without sedation and if I could have gotten away with murdering the Doctor I would have. I do not recommend it. No one knows what the intestine is like till they get in there. It is a very...
I think you will find that cutting out milk entirely will help. I just had another friend that found it was the thing that was causing hers. I don't think it is dairy as much as milk and the enzymes...
sounds like you need a gastro Dr. Sounds to me like esophageal spasms not like anything thyroid can cause. Thyroid can cause some stomach problems but usually not like you describe. I know it can...
When I went thru that the first thing the Doctor asked was did I drink carbonated beverages. I don't. He said not to drink them as they were only temporary relief at most and all they did was add...
You can get it from Amazon, drugs.com and I am sure if you check with other drug stores you will find it. It is not off the market that I can see looking on the internet. There must be some other...
I lost a friend to Ovarian cancer because they were concentrating on intestinal issues. She worked for a wonderful Doctor but he missed it also. I don't remember if she had a CT scan for stomach...
Well, apparantly there had to be quite a few to take if off the market. I do know that I have been reading warnings about using it if you have kidney problems for sometime now but I sure wasn't aware...

Maybe you need to keep a camper potty on hand. Just kidding. Sounds like a terrible experience....
Well, I always have to take the Fleets Phospho soda which is fairly easy to do. You should be running clear liquid if it has cleaned you out. I was told that they can suction out bits and pieces if...
If there were one solution noone would need the forums. It is different for everyone depending on how their system functions. It is trial and error again and again until you find what works for you....
There isn't any remedy as it is a functional problem. You have to treat the problem. If you just want to get rid of the acid, take a acid reducer and take some Pepto for the dyspepsia. Change of diet...
It could be but sometimes it is the foods we eat. The acid they are talking about is stomach acid not acid from food. What were you given to help it. There are meds that block acids and there are...
Get a colonscopy. A CT scan doesn't give a good picture of the colon. I would also ask for a endoscopy of the stomach and duodenum. I messed up my stomach drinking acidic drinks and it took a very...
I was not familiar with that prep so looked it up. Apparantly it is not unpleasant to take, you just have to take quite a bit of it. 2 liters. If you really think you will have a problem drinking...
According to what the Doctor told my friend it won't hurt anything but you can be dependent on the colon cleanse products which she was. She is now off them. Are bitters senna? I don't get the...
senna is in most of the colon cleanse products and will turn your colon black. Who told you it was good to flush out the body. Not a doctor, I assume....
The lawsuits they are talking about have to do with the preparation of Fleets Phospho soda and severe kidney problems. I don't think they were talking about something like an infection or stones,...
Where do you live that they still have church fish fries? Where I grew up in Ohio companies would come in and do a fry for a very reasonable price and we raised money. I have never seen it done in...
Domperidone(Motilium) is considered a very safe drug for intestinal use. There is not much money in doing anymore trials for the FDA as it is so cheap now. It can be bought over the counter in most...
Fitzy, I had to order the Hyoscymine from Canada because the cheap generic was not longer available. They wanted almost $90 for something I used to get for $7. Have you filled it lately? I paid $45...
I will be watching and taping. I still love the program but can't understand Nela and that Australian guy. I love her but seem to miss what she says at time. He mumbles all the time. It will be fun...
Have you had your thyroid checked?Both of those are signs of low thyroid....
It sounds like spasms to me. Have you tried antispasm drugs?...
We have had a number of posters that refused the anti-depressants because they felt the meant the doctor thought it was all in their head that is why I am glad you posted. Many won't even try....
I have a friend that was prescribed it for her stomach, not exactly IBS but gastro problems in general and she says it is helping. She tried Paxil but it made her too sleepy. This seems to be...
I have friends that were awake during their whole coloscopy. My very first one they didn't sedate me enough and I screamed the whole time as he just kept saying " a little bit more". It was the...
No, but frankly you had an abundance of drugs that I think would upset anyone's stomach. The only thing I have ever had was Fentanyl and Versed. It sounds as if you had an allergic reaction and I...
My husband did not have the diarhea when he had alcohol before it ate but when he didn't you may has well have thrown the food down the toilet and saved the stress. of course when you are working...
