Hi, Sasha, I do see a nutrition oriented chiropractor every other week. The
other practioners are usually too costly for me. I am retired. Have an
adequate income for ordinary expenses, but nothing fancy. I thought long
and hard about trying internet at home. Otherwise I used the library.
Still go up there sometimes and do my e-mail to save on electricity at home
and use their arconditioning in the heat of the day. But can onlyuse a
computer there for 1 hour. I am saving much pertinent information either by
printing or by putting in folders on my computer for future reference. I
have mentioned before maybe in response to someone else's message, that I
have to pick and choose which inteventions to try out. I simply cannot
invest in many alternative health supplements, too often they don't work
and I end up with a bathroom cupboard full of bottles. I borrow many books
from my chiropractor about healthy diet and diet for specific problems, etc.
He also has DVD's. He carries a few things like Bentonite Clay and
Psyllium which I took for about 4 months. The psyllium came in two kinds,
one with a soy additive and one with a whey additive. Both of these reacted
against the burning pain under my right ribcage. I am becoming more and
more convinced that this pain is caused by too much pushing to pass stool
and collections of gas in my large intestine that gets caught in the nooks
and crannies of my colon On a day when I have expelled alot of gas, I seem
to have some relief at least for awhile. I do use an antigas medication.
I am considering some of the exercise ideas and other things that involve
little expense. The chiropractor is inclined to work mainly with nutrition.
Does also carry a probiotic which I have used, but without success so far.
So I am trying to fight this within my means.
I am not sure if you have come across any of the accounts I have posted
concerning the condition of my colon that has led the Drs. to recommend
surgery. It is very much longer than those of most people. It is also
floppy and tends to clamp up. Transit time mouth to rectum is 7-8 days. 10
years ago was 5 days by x-ray. It is coming up supper time, better quit. I'm
sorry if I have repeated stuff I already told you or you read in another
post. Thanks, Ruth I need all the encouragement I can get at this time and
I am very grateful for all the ideas I have received.

Hi Ruth,
I can empathize with what you are going through Ruth. It must be horrible
and this colon problem must be wreaking havoc in your life. Look at it
this
way, surgery is always an option for you if that is what you ultimately
decide. But, also think about it this way. There is a reason you are on
this list and seeking advice. That is a wise thing to do. There is a
wealth of knowledge and probably hundreds of years of combined personal and
professional experience that you are receiving from our family of list
members. Why not try some of the wonderful and excellent advice everyone
is
sharing? Trust that your body awareness knows what is right for you. You
have got nothing to lose by doing that. Personally, I agree with everyone
and would only do the surgery if it were a matter of life and death - but,
for no other reason other than that. They have two ways of dealing with
illness - drugs or surgery. That is what they have been trained to do.
But
there is a world of difference when you go to the alternative side of
medicine and health practices. They look for everything natural to heal
you
May I ask - have you seen any doctors or practitioners outside of the
allopathic medical field such as alternative/holistic, energy medicine, or
ayurvedic master practitioners? This might be a good balance and then with
professional assistance they can help you choose what is right for you. If
you let us know where you reside, then we can avail you of those
alternative
practitioners in your area that might be able to help you. Let's try Ruth.
So where are you?
Hugs,
Sasha

Hi , Sasha, I have used probiotics in the recent past. Lately have been
involved with this routine the surgeon gave me to see if we can get my
bowel
to work properly without the surgery. I have very little confidence in his
scheme, but if surgery becomes necessary he will probably be the one to do
it.
