Didn't the lax give you diarrhea? milk of mag gave me
diarrhea, they told me it was the gentlest...I ended
up on pepto after that. What confuses me about this
is the tightening in the abs...the pain under the ribs
and the pulsating pain on my left side. I didn't feel
these things till a few days ago. Why is that pain so
high up? and in different locale from where the
adhesion was cut...it is higer up...but on the same
side? My PCP said to increase fiber to regulate
me...I took in 21 gms. today and am bloated more than
before...and the pain is worse. I've been trying to
do stretches hoping to stretch out the scar tissue so,
it'll stay loose...just, in case...Jean I read your
story on the quilt....you are quite a survivor. Love.
