I haven't had that problem, but since I have had two minor (MINOR) heart attacks and an irregular heartbeat I began using daily vitamins and acidopholus. Itake lots of C and I make myself drink a little extra water because I'm dependant on my kidneys and bladder working as a habit. I had so many infections with sp and indwelling. My doctor was surprized when bladder training worked but happy, too. ohyea, I take fibre pills, too. It adds mass to my early morning "movement". lol. Another trick with holidays, don't overeat. It isn't worth the hassle. Don't count soda pop as water since it is really poison. As fast as we loose calcium and carbonated drinks accelerate that process and dehydrate you as fast as alcohol, pop is very very bad for you.
I wouldn't mind having a heart with a carribean dance rhythm if it didn't hurt so bad. Ohyea, I don't ever take any anti biotic to keep from getting sick. I reserve them for when i am really really sick, because I'm pretty sure my immune system can handle most minor infections. I think you should keep an anti biotic at home, but don't take it if you don't need it. Like when Dr.s give you Macrodantin to take forever. Hmmm, did you just read about C-diff? I personally think you'd be better off with a pro-biotic from a healthfood store. If your system has enough good bacteria then the bad bacteria literally starves down to levels that don't affect you. You don't even get sick to start with. Don't get me wrong, there is always some squirrelly little snot nosed kid that hasn't washed his left hand since last february and is developing a cold into a weapon of mass destruction, so you will get sick. Just, now the anti biotic works like it should. Well, hope that is some help? I could be wrong about everything, but that is what I think.

Does anyone have trouble with a-fib (irregular heart) episodes? I have mild episodes from time to time; but Sunday was a pretty bad one! After my bowel program Sunday my bladder would not release; I void on my own, but my bowel was full of gas from after being constipated and not allowing my bladder to release. So after I was beat red in the face and neck (my blood pressure went up to 194 over 117, my norm. is 90 over 60) my nurse cathed me as we waited for the ambulance. At the ER they confirmed I was in a-fib; they did abdominal x-rays and found that I had no blockage, just air. The a-fib was due to dehydration, gas, not being able to void my bladder and the whole autonomic response. I went to see my regular doctor yesterday, my heart was nice and regular. Doc told me how important and crucial my over all health (I knew this) is, and it is all related to a healthy bowel. My lack of fluids during the holiday over-stuffed this turkey. I just hope that my lazy bowel doesn't stop working! Any stories or advice would be greatly appreciated! Tim c5-c6, 19 yrs. post www.geocities.com/onemofortom www.whoopiekat.com Never miss a thing.
