BM's... (Was Hi, I am having pain and need opinions...)

January 22, 2003

Well, since Marilyn's message about the abd. pain I've got to

thinkin'....God help us all.......LOL......

She mentioned that she had a BM daily....hmmmmm, wellllll.....

Now here's my question..... How often do you guy's have a BM? For me, I go

about every 4-6 day's....no constipation (unless I do calcium, then it about

kills me) but this is just normal for me... however, my friend (The ER

doc/ps) thought this may be causing some of my LLQ abd. pain. It's not that

kinda pain, really, but it does feel a little better after I have a BM.

Anyway, just some ramblings and thoughts.....

I go usually a couple of times a day at least. If I go more than 24 hrs, I'm

going for the suppositories, because I have had the blockage from hell, and I

don't want to do that again! Talk about giving birth with no baby to show

for it...LOL...sorry, I know...I know..TMI!!

Randy,

My PCP would be adamant about adding fiber to your diet every day if he

heard you say this. BMs every 4 days or more doubles your risk of colon

cancer. I like the orange-flavored sugar-free Fiber Choice tablets. I

chew 3 a day, they don't swell in my pouch, and I go every day like

clockwork, no issues, no pain. You can get Fiber Choice at Target or a

lot of other grocery/general stores. I pay $10 for 90 tablets, which

lasts me a month. They taste so good that I have to hide them from my 3

year old. :-)

Every morning, after my run, I drink my protein shake...about half way thru,

I'm on my way to the potty...like clockwork. I'm a creature of habit!!

Hey! We were having a poop discussion when I joined this list! LOL

For the first 18 years or so, I went every 3 days. No exceptions. Now, it's

every morning within 15 minutes of getting up. Now isn't that more than you

wanted to know about me?

Randy,

Everyday here. More than once if I eat something I shouldn't. Very loose if

I miss calcium but I sure don't miss them anymore!

OK.....you asked I go EVERY single morning between cup of coffee number

1 cup number 2!! Sometimes, not often, I go again in late afternoon. But

interestingly enough I had a mother who went 2-4 times a day.....if she ate,

she went within an hour......couldn't take her anywhere.......now my Dad

only went every 3-5 days and suffered from horrible constipation.....had to

get manually relieved almost everytime he traveled.........all of us 6

siblings got one " extreme " or the other..........genetics I guess......
