What did the Doc say? I hope you are feeling better!

Thanks, its not my appendix, so thats good. All major organs look good. So now we are on to seeing a GI. Looks like I will have to have a colonoscopy. In the mean time I have calmed down a lot knowing that all the most serious things have been ruled out.

I just wish I would stop being in so much pain.

Thanks for thinking of me.

Glad to hear it's not the appendiz...as for the GI stuff if you have any questions or need a good GI guy let me know...DH and I have a lot of GI issues and are no strangers to colonoscopies!

Hey Michelle,

Although I didnt have a colonoscopy, I did have an endoscopy a little less than a year ago - they go down the throat instead of up through (u know where) - you're knocked out & in my case the only side effect I had was a sore throat for a few days from the scope. I am sure you will do great but please let us know how things go.

Sending 's & lots of 's your way!

still no answers... but they scheduled me for a colonoscopy on Nov 11. In the meantime I am supposed to increase my fiber intake.

Are you taking probiotics? Align is a great one for the digestive tract...It's over the counter! I also take citrucel everyday...its a fiber supplement and it helps me tremendously!

What is a probiotic?

I have never had a problem before so I never thought about any of this.

A probiotic is basically good bacteria that help get rid of the bad bacteria in your body. Acidophilus is a good one for fighting off things like yeast infections (sorry to be gross!) Align is a great one for the digestive tract! It;s not cheap so try to find coupons online or you can by it at BBB and use your 20% off coupon!
Align

Try Mirilax, my GI told me to take it every other day, I suffer from digestive pain associated with constipation.... had an endoscopy and nothing was wrong. Just be careful to much Greens and fiber and do the opposite and can bind you :) Drink plenty of Water !

Thanks ladies, I am going to avoid doing to much of anything or taking anything until after the colonoscopy, just in case its something serious. But I will keep that in mind after.

I understand...probiotics are good for anyone to take...regardless of digestive issues or not though so you would be ok taking that if you want to! It's not a medication or anything

Thanks Lauren, I will try it. I just saw it listed for sale at Walbaums I think, its in one of this weeks circulars. So I will try it.

I think the fiber is helping the immediate problem, but we still have to figure out what caused it.
