[QUAD-L] bowel program

[Eric Olson]

When do you do your bowel program?  I mean time of day.  How often? What 
things do you use to help move your bowels like senecot, miralax, 
metamucil?  Any simple things like all bran cereals or activia yogurt.  
I ask because I recently had to have abdominal surgery because of an 
ileus and have to radically rethink how I manage my bowels.  I had heard 
that quads can develop a mega-colon because of reduced motility in the 
bowels.  A normal person's colon is 6 feet long.  Mine is 12.  Here's 
the thing - nobody seems to know if that's abnormal.  I guess the number 
of 30 year quads that have had abdominal surgery is small.  Anyway I 
used to do my bowel program Monday,Wednesday Friday.  I was taking 
metamucil twice a day and on bowel program days I took a magic cleanse 
and 2 senecot.  I ate bran cereals and activia yogurt every day too.  
What do you do?
