the dill I very seldom have a accident unless im on antibiotics. Hang in
there!!! Silas

What is your routine? Do you take meds (i.e. senna tablets, colace, what
kind of suppository; when do you take them? How much fiber?
Do you take narcotics?
When do you go (every day, every other day etc.
As a newly injured person it takes awhile to figure out what is best for
you.

I used senokot until I discovered the herb cascara segrada. It has helped me
enormously in maintaining regularity. Good luck Shelly. We all know too well
the frustration, anger, and embarrassment caused by unpredictable bowels.

Hi Shelly,
It's wonderful that your blessings are coming so fast to you. Sometimes it
seems only the bad times come at us, and the blessings take their time getting
