DEAR GOD... 6 POUNDS, EH?! I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS.
I WENT IN FOR A COLONOSCOPY - DID ALL
THEY ASKED ME TO DO FOR THE 'PREP' - TO GIVE
THEM A GOOD VIEW.... RIGHT?
EVEN TOOK A FEW EXTRA TO 'MAKE SURE' I WAS CLEANED-OUT.
WELL... NOPE. NOT EVEN CLOSE! MY DOCTOR WAS SHOCKED
AT THE DEGREE OF THIS SYMPTOM.
THERE IS A MEDICINE I TAKE - TWICE A DAY TO STOP THIS PROBLEM.
WORKS BETTER THAN MOST. REALLY TELL YOUR MD HOW SEVERE 'THIS
SITUATION IS.
NOT TO BE GROSS -
BUT IN NURSING SCHOOL - YEARS AGO - THERE WAS AN ELDERLY
PATIENT WHO VOMITED WHAT SHOULD HAVE 'EXITED ANOTHER
DIRECTION'.(HOW TO SAY THAT 'NICELY'.)
MY POINT... THAT CAN BE VERY SERIOUS AS WELL AS THE
REST OF OUR PROBLEMS.
GO WITH GOD.

Thanks so much for responding. A few days ago,
my husband was worrying so much about me. He insisted
that I take suppositories and oral medical to see if we
could move my bowels. I was so miserable and he was
concerned because everything I drank or ate I felt even
sicker. Well, after a little over an hour of miserable
cramping, I finally went to the bathroom. I actually
lost 6 lbs just from moving my bowels.
