Dear Bizi, :hug: :hug: :hug:

The mag citrate will help. So will the citracel.

Are you adding fiber? Drinking water?

Mari

I eat lots of veggies and drink a ton of water and coffee.
I am so bloated right now. hope I can sleep.
hubby says that I should see my doctor....I don't know we will see what happens.
bizi thanks for your support mari.:hug:

Bizi, :)
Your doctor will have some suggestions and insight. You can check with the pdoc too. Remember that we can go to our professional health team people. We are not alone.

well I had some diarrhea this morning..sorry gross I know, but not what you would think so will wait to see how the rest of the day goes.
Drinking coffee waking up....
Have a realtor coming to the house today...just curious how our house would do on the market if we were to decide to move. Jeff does not know he is coming. I met him at a home show last weekend. The house is a mess so am trying to straighten up a bit.

HI, Bizi,

Have fun with the realtor.

Dear Bizi,

imho, it's ok about the thread. what we eat affects all of our body, and inevitably the "output" ;).

i think the fact the citracel and mag citrate bottle produced diarrhea is a good sign... the bloating was probably a normal consequence of drinking that stuff.

however, rather than continue experimenting, i would indeed see your doctor about these problems. it is possible that the longterm use of a laxative has had an effect on your natural motility.

i hope you will chose to consult with your doc about this. perhaps you could also just call your pdoc to inquire about the likelyhood of your psych meds contributing. also, try to think back - did you have problems before going on meds? do you remember what your diet was like then? what about before these particular meds, esp geodon?

i am sorry you are going through this. it is no fun when your body can't get rid of its waste properly. (personally, i'd like to get rid of some of my waist, too, :p:D:cool: ... there, see, now we're back on topic, hehe. :D)

(((hugs)))

snacked tonight on .5oz almonds, 2 T humus, and
2 T hemp seeds(160 calories)....anyone else like them?
Not sure that I like them, they are very good for you
but have a lot of calories. I just discovered that my citrucel has 25 calories a serving, and this is the sugar free kind!

Hi, Bizi,
I have not had hemp seeds.
Hubby did steam fenugreek tonight along with carrots and green beans and a little garlic.
