Hi Karima, Boy, you've been through the mill over the last few weeks or so. Maybe the pimple thingy is a hemmorroid from straining? I have found digestive...
Vicki I've been asked many times to write a book. So far, I've refused and I will continue to do so. Many of the stories that people want to hear most are the...
Niles: You are extremely admirable. I never thought about the loyalty aspect of your position with regard to writing a book. I'm reading the biography of...
Hi Karen, I'm sure you're right, it's best to just get on with life and take it all in your stride. It can feel a bit overwhelming sometimes though. I would...
Just a quick question.....Is Metamucil not a laxative (albeit a bulk forming one)? The reason I ask is that I read a post which mentioned the person having a...
Brian, I don't post often but I've had my jpouch since 1989 and the one thing that has always had helped me the most is metamucil. I take it twice a day...
Boy Niles, you are sooo right about life being simpler then. The one thing I lament most, having raised 4 daughters now aged 18-26 and currently raising two...
Hi, My surgeon told me not to take Metamucil as I don't need it. But I have found that taking it in the morning reduces the amount of anti-diarrhea medication...

Niles ; My hat is off to you for the loyalty that you show to your friends. If we all had friends like that the world would be better off. There are too many...
Niles ; It was a great game and I kept telling my wife the Giants would pull it out. Congrats to all Giant fans. My son is at school in Boston and is a...
Metamucil in the normal individual is a laxative but for us with the J-pouch it is a bulking agent. I use it everyday. It has helped to slow down the number...
I have to agree with Ernie on the capsule form of metamucil. It was not good for my system. The capsules do not disolve fast enough and then just caused more...
I also like the Metamucil and it works but i have lots of gas with it. Any advice for this? I read about Unifiber which doesn't cause the gas. Has anyone tried...

Brian, I use Metamucil and it has only changed my bm's by firming them and has not caused me to have more. It does make my stomach rumble slightly but that is...
Okay, lately, I have been doing okay except for many mid-sleeping time bms. What is the latest most of you finish putting food in. This breaking up of my...
Hi Niles, it is me Karima. Yes, weren't they outstanding. I was in a New England stronghold (a minority of one) but wowie kazowie!!!!!. Aren't we just so...
Afternoon everyone! Brian and others, I read of Metamucil today and just wanted to put in my words on that product. My cancer surgeon in 89 told me of my ...
I usually eat around 6:00 but if I eat later or much earlier I sometimes make it through the whole night. Unfortunately, my work doesn't allow for me to eat ...
Hi Karima, I try not to eat after 6-7 PM and am usually in bed by 11. I almost never sleep more than 3-4 hours at a time, if I go 5-6 I'm amazed. It only...
Thanks Rob. I am making the adjustments one at a time (as we all do)...things will improve I am sure. Karima Rob Kunin <rkwireless@...> wrote: I usually...
Hi, Replying to those who worry about how long the pouch will last: got mine in 1985, am 79 now. Pouch is doing fine since started taking Welchol to sequester...
Jack ; Thank you for the information. You definitely give hope to many with your long experience. I have been hesitant to try beer but I do miss having one now...
Hi Karima, I do best when I have 5 or so hours after eating before bed time. But I will continue with water and such. Also, sometimes it helps if during the...

Hi Ernie, Good hearing from you. I need to go back to the not eating after 5 and big meal in middle of the day. Thanks bunches. Karima Ernest Jones...
Hi Karima, IMHO, I never eat big meals. It seems like whenever I over do it, I pay with diarreah and burning. BTW, I re-tried Citrucel yesterday and it was...
Tom...I had my TD surgery last FEB and in early APR I was in Dublin sipping Guinness and did just fine! Be thinking of you on St Paddy's Day and will raise a...
