Guest guest Posted April 8, 2002 Report Share Posted April 8, 2002 Chrissie -- thanks so much for the lab work info. And, Amber, why is it good to have an oil slick. And lastly, I forget who wrote about the impacted bowel, but what changes did you make in your diet to keep it from happening again. I've been having some problems lately and I eat salads and fruit. Is there a supplement or healthy stool softener to use (Vitalady?). , I ordered some samples from you. Can't wait to try them. --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2002 Report Share Posted April 8, 2002 I'm as distal as you can get and I rarely have oil slicks. I'm supposed to have severe ones. It's good because it shows your bypass is working. Mine is still working, labs still show malabsorption of oils, but where do they GOOOOOOOO? No one knows! Well, just don't use fat free products. They're higher in sugar, make you hungry and you can use the fats/oils for your, freedom of movement, know what I mean? I think she said FIBER for the bowel problem. Give it some GRIT to keep everything moving appropriately. But also normal fats/oils (not MEGA), so you don't have to try to pass sawdust clumps. Sigh. I know WAY too much about that. I've used senna (herb), Rx preparations (good & bad), M o M was the best, fish oil caps, flax oil caps----you can try any of those. Some have had some " action " with flax seed (the seeds themselves), but not me.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2002 Report Share Posted April 8, 2002 , the " oil slick " shows that you are still malabsorbing. As far as the stool softener, I am not either of the s, but have been an RN for almost 25 years so ... I en courage people (myself included) to use Fiber One cereal by General Mills. It is the lowest carb and sugar and highest fiber cereal there is. I like it plain, or with soy milk, and love it mixed into yogurt.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2002 Report Share Posted April 8, 2002 , I ordered vitalady's iron (generic for NIFEREX-150) which I took because I was bruising up pretty much (Put an end to that). But I had to quit taking it every day and switch to every other day because it caused me to have diarrhea. Now, I take it every other day with excellent results in my bowel movements... no diarrhea... and everything is just fine and dandy. formerly constipated, Okie but what changes did you make in your diet to keep it from happening again.
