Dear Girl, I hate to hear that you are having the same problems that
most people do when they are taking high doses of narcotics for pain. I have
been in and out of the hospital for years, for the same impaction problems
that you are having, and yes a coffee enema is ten times better than the
fleet enemas. I also take the Miralax which is in powder form and I hate to
even drink coffee, let alone use it for an enema, but it does work well when
you are impacted. I was told by my Dr. to mix two caps full of the Miralax
with water and then drink two cups of coffee right behind it, which has
worked really well for me. As I said, I do not even like coffee, so I buy the
Gevelia brand of decaffinated coffee through the mail, because they offer
flavored coffee's. It is expensive but it helps substancially. Now and then I
have to use the Fleet suppositories, depending on what I eat. I also have a
juicer, which takes the juice from fruits and vegetables, which also works
well, because your body doesn't have to break down all of the solid foods,
yet you still get the vitamins and minerals that you need in order to sustain
your diet. The juice from carrots and potatoes, brocolli and things like that
do not taste very well by themselves, so it is best to mix fruit juice to
suit your taste so it wil be easier to drink. My Dr. told me a during my last
appointment that ruttabagga is the best thing to eat , because it has more
fiber in the fruit than any other thing that you can buy. Since I have began
to eat the ruttabagga, I have found that my constipation is very much less
severe than it has ever been. I used to have a bowel movement just a few
times a week,but since cutting up the ruttabagga and running it through my
juicer I have daily movements. I do hope and pray that something I have told
you will work for you and your hospital visits for impaction will cease.
Remember that God Loves You, and we are here to help as much as we can. I
will remember you in my prayers and I pray that you will get to feeling
better soon. May The Lord watch over you and Bless You as you go through
these trials. In His Love ......Dave
