HIDan, Actually, right now my bowel has turned the other way. Am having piles of stool that border on diarrhea. That is what this Dr. wants to have happen and then we work to balance it out. I had my doubts about Milk of Mag giving me th kick I need, but apparently something has. He also suggested Dulcolax. But that also gives too much of a kick. My bowel seems to be trigger happy right now. Am also using Citrucel which I hate. My digestive tract is entirely unaccustomed to having sugar in it in any amount. I will once in awhile eat a hard candy, but seldom. And the sugar free has aspartame in it, I seem to remember from the old days when I used these things regularly. This doctor is trying to avoid having to do surgery on my bowel. He is working with the only "tools" he is familiar with. If , indeed, I need to have the surgery , this is the surgeon I want to use since he is a gastroenterology surgery who only operates on the colon and rectum. Trouble is, that at nearly 79, I haven't got an awful lot of time to try out combinations of all these possible therapies, many of which sound very good. But how do I know what they will do in my already compromised digestive system. I know you will say that I already know that Citrucel, etc. don't work , but I haven;'t used them in quite a few years. I have a phone appointment with the surgeon for whenever he gets a few minutes to call me back. I am getting too wordy again. Am printing out a great deal of this information and will study it carefully. Ruth

I don't know if it is correct to say that a magnesium product like milk
of magnesia will *force* the bowels to move.
However, the cascara sagrada in the Formula #1 *will* force your bowels
to move.  The methods of action are different.  Dr. Schulze says he even
got intestine from a cadaver to contract when it came into contact with
cascara sagrada...

Hi, Dan, What you say is what I fear.  Just don't know how far to go
with the plan I am working on with the surgeon.  This morning I drank my
citrucel
  before too quickly, turned 0ut it wasn't stirred up enough.  It felt
like it hadn't gone down for awhile. Then that feeling went away, I
thought.
Meantime I had called the emergency room in the clinic where I go.  They

assured me that it would go down.   I ate my regular breakfast and
lunch.
Now at 3 p.m. I ate some freshly steamed sweet potato.  That doesn''t
seem to have gone down.  I think I will call Dr. Nemer's office in the
city again to report.  I am taking Milk of Magnesia to force the bowel
to move, but think it isn't working very well. Ruth
