Thanks Todd for the update. I understand how complex your situation can be when you don't have help or assistance. You do have the ability to control your diet and what you and the amounts you eat. Yes, fiber, will improve your bowel program, whatever you chose. Finding someone who knows and is certified to perform digital stim, is not easy. Have you considered using Ducolac, Magic Bullet or Emeneze? If you are not aware of these products, you should go back to your medical doctor and ask for a bowel program evaluation.

I am living alone and have no one that could perform them, which is the first problem. Digital stimulation gives me trouble due to sensation even with different numbing products. It would make me dysreflexic. My diet is horrible. I am 6'1 and weigh 120lbs. I think a good diet with fiber might help me regulate but as far as programs go I'm not sure what I can do.

I can't recommend the best for you as I don't know your personal medical history. I don't know your level of function either. I do know what can happen to your body or anyone else's body when they fail to have a "regular" bowel movement. There are some purist and naturalist who feel that a person should have a bowel movement after every dinner or 3 times a day. Consider your habits before you became a C6. Your waste is toxic and you should have a bowel movement, once a day or every other day. I realize that you may need help or assistance and I don't know how often assistance is available for you. What bowel program gave you so much trouble before? What product did you use before? Duxolex? Best Wishes W In a message dated 2/5/2009 12:53:08 P.M.

I am an incomplete c-6 and stopped doing programs after a few years because of the discomfort. I have been injured since '89 and basically just wait until I get the sensation to go, and then get to a bathroom. The problems is that I am not going on a regular basis and sometimes a week will go by between movements. I am afraid of taking any kind of stool softeners for fear of diarrhea. This is another subject but I went last year for a colon cleanse and it felt really good to know that all that excees waste is out of my body.
