I do my BP every three days. I take bisacodyl tablet(10 mg) the night before and do some stimulation the next morning. I use a fleet enema bottle filled with worm water for stimulation.It is inserted into the rectum ,just like the fleet enema.

I was sitting on a motorized commode chair, wheeling down a garden. My gut was distended and when I looked, on the upper right side I had a gardenhose attachment to my large intestine. When the water turned on I'd drive along fertilizing the garden until my gut returned to normal size. . I did a little checking and I may be wrong but I think that is almost how the P.I.E. system works except, no garden hose or motorized commode chair and it only empties the colon. When I woke up, I had a phenomonal involuntary movement in the bed. (Why do they call it involuntary when the truth is, I'm glad its out?) john ----- Original Message ---- From: RONALD L PRACHT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, December 7, 2007 1:53:12 AM Subject: [QUAD-L] bowell program components Well.......... I do my bowell routine every other morning. I use majic bullets , sometimes 2 if its goin slow. The night b4 a routine I start by taking a lil bisacodyl pill, a couple majic cleanse capsules. Then I try to drink a beer, eat a yougurt and eat a small bowell of raisan bran sometimes with prunes. I drink alot of water and fluids during the day and eat plain cherios most mornings. I do a couple hours of excercise at least 3 times a week maybe more if weather allows. I think many folks have trouble because they dont do enough digital stimulation........if your not going in 20 mins you may need stimulation to break it loose. Also sit on the bowell chair long enough. Another thing you have to consider is you dont want your stool to loose..........or too hard. Thats a struggle every quad goes through. I always thought that with all the smart people out there we could come up with a better method of evacuating bowells for paralyzed individuals. I thought one time hell it would be nice to have some kind of a valve or sureproof way to avoid accidents. Maybe an electronic implant to at least tell you how full you are or even better some sort of stimulation electrodes to get things going. Ive heard of some sort of flushing system you can do.........I think Dave does something like that. Too me Im tired of hearing about b.s. about stem cell and all that......I want to hear about better methods to live with the injury. Every person in a chair needs to get out intheir city or town and become seen. This will force society to see us as real people with lives. In turn more cures, drugs and methods will happen. ron c7 _____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
