But I'll suck it up and say it. The poop shoot isnt working well
   For this past week.. I have felt terribly bloated from stomach on down. I am having cramping, sharp stabbing pains( especially upon sudden movements), and I feel like I cant empty either way. It also hurts when I urinate. And yes I got the urgency, frequency and that other thing.. too.I am beside myself cause of getting ready for this vacation and I dont want to be sick!! It seems to hurt more after I eat also. So I havent eaten alot lately. If anyones got any suggestions .. please let me know . I am terribly embarrassed about this.

My husband has been going through this because of his take down colostomy. The doc suggested 2 tsps. mineral oil twice a day. It seems to work well.

Go see your doctor, Beth! I sure wouldn't mess around with something like that!

Thinking back to my teen years .. I had built up this intolerance to milk. I am thinking that is it. I've had alot of stuff with milk in it this week. And it feels like I gots to toot alot lol but cant. I think I am gonna try Dee's suggestion first and if it doesnt work by tomorrow night I will go to the doc first thing Monday. I do have some mineral oil here that I use for my ear when it feels scratchy. It helps relieve it a bit. Thanks for caring guys.. I appreciate it!!!

Well.. I do feel a bit better. Not totally well yet though. I've tried a couple different things. So hopefully they will keep on working and go from there. Thanks for the suggestions again.. I will go to the doc if I am not alot better by tomorrow!!!

are you taking anti-anxiety meds? some of them can cause this. i had a problem months ago since i was taking klonapin, particularly after i had a stomach bug. it was nuts. colace does help with that. might want to check if any of your meds is causing this. hope it gets better....
