I have to have a colonoscopy next Monday. I have had one before and am really not looking forward to it. The problem is drinking the triLyte crap! Anybody have any ideas about how to get it down quick and painless? Which flavor packs are the best?
I can’t take the pills because I have kidney damage.

Do you just go in and talk to the Doctor? Get a prescription for the prep pills or liquid? Does he have to do an exam? If so, please explain what is done.

I’m 7 weeks and the bloating is unbearable. It’s making me feel so nauseous and I can’t even swallow anything without gagging. I tried taking gas relief pills, but it did nothing. Is there anything at all that will take the pressure away? I know drinking plenty of water will help, but it’s not helping enough. My stomach is literally stretched to the max right now.

I’m a lapband patient (weight-loss surgery,) and I can’t drink or eat much of anything in quantity. There is no way that I could ever drink a gallon of liquid, or take a bunch of pills (the band prevents swallowing of large pills, they get stuck.) What other options do I have?

I am invited to a wedding party on May 18 and this morning I started my menstrual cycle. I normally experience heavy bleeding and bloating all the way through the 7th day!

My dress is super tight and I really like to take some pills or know about food restrictions that intensify bloating during period.

Do you know what are do’s and dont’s? does exercise help?????

I’m noticing more and more fellow females around me having great bouts of excruciating stomach aches, and being diagnosed with either IBS or Endometriosis, and being prescribed birth pills, peppermint oil pills, etc. All just like me. So I wanted to know if this is a big growing epidemic around other communities…

I’m currently taking Bentyl 20mg. 4 times a day, but when I stop it comes back with vengeance. The reason I stop because I feel better, but isn’t a lot of pills to take….

I have to get a Colonoscopy tomorow and I need help cleaning myself out of poo fast!

Doctor gives me psyllium hydrophilic mucilloid for IBS today, can I use Probiotic pills with it or not?

As gross as it sounds, I have always gotten stomach aches which usually resulted in diarrhea. After going to the bathroom I felt better. Recently, I have noticed that it has gotten much, much worse. Within the past couple of months. I often find myself running to the bathroom at the worst of times. I have diarrhea first thing when I wake up in the morning and all throughout the day, especially after I eat ( ANYTHING) I get these terrible stomach aches and cramps and finally the diarrhea comes and I feel much better for a short time until it is back. I was just researching and found out that I may have a disorder known as Irritable Bowel Syndrome. It sounds like I may have the symtoms. I am going to try to take fibre pills which may help and eventually see a doctor if the problem does not go away. I also may have an ulcer.. I don`t know if that helps any, but please, if you have any tips or suggestions, let me know!
