Re: [QUAD-L] Never Ending Bowel Program

[Eric Olson]

Steve, The only thing you might want to try is to not start dig stim so soon.  I let the bullet work for at least 45 minutes before dig stim.  The bullet has usually done its magic by then.  Then I dig a few times just to make sure I'm done.  Eric Steve Wickwar wrote: O.K. Guys,   This is my first real post. My bowel program used to take about an hour with dig-stim every 5 min. I've since then had to change attendants and sometimes now it lasts up to three hours now! My procedure is as follows:   (Metamucil every morning/night, stool softner morning/night, 4 senekot evening before program   1. Magic Bullet in bed and stretch/wait 10 min. 2. Hot Water to drink 3. transfer to shower chair over commode 4. attendant dig-stim. every 5 min till done (sometimes 3 hours) 5. Few accidents, but she's rippin me up!   What can I do to speed up process? Changes I can make? Things to try? Any suggestions would help tremendously....   Steve
