Hi Ruth, my you *are* a little behind with the mails I think <grin> as I
sent this months ago!  
I am glad that things seem to be a little better for you, although as you
say, not quite completely better.  I hope things continue to improve and you
find the thing that works without having to resort to surgery.
I too have a similar although not nearly so severe, problem as you. i.e.
Constipation, and nothing seems to get rid of it.  I have tried the whey and
inulin but no luck so far.  I am now upping my dose of magnesium as Duncan
said that can help.  It is such a nuisance having to continuously take
things like Senocot which even that, sometimes doesn't work.  I am a bit
peculiar in that things like fibre, fruit, etc., just make it worse, so I
don't know what the answer is.
Anyway, I do hope your problem continues to improve, and you know we are all
with you.  X Dee

Hi, Dee, am going through my e-mail messages from previous weeks.  I
appreciate your message, I know Charles and the others mean well, but I just
cannot go in many directions at once.  Different ones on this list have very
different ideas of what may be basically wrong with me and they may all be
partially right or entirely right, or all wrong.
