Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 , Maybe I will try a roller coaster. About six years ago, I had the most humiliating experience of my life when I had to get off of a roller coaster because they couldn't lower the bar all the way down. It was so painful to walk up that ramp with everyone watching to see who had held up the ride for so long. Riding a roller coaster will be one of those victories that will taste so sweet.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2001 Report Share Posted June 15, 2001 Sue - Why don't you take the Citrucel. It will not worsen you diarrhea - it might actually fix it!! on 3 month update > Hi - > Today is my three month anniversary, as I can see I'm last to report. > > I feel great!

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2001 Report Share Posted June 15, 2001 Sue, In addition to coating our new stomachs, Citrucel binds our stools. Try taking it as it may help with the diarrea. Good luck!
