just sending a good thought your way. Good for the metamucil. Ever try steel cut oatmeal. works good in the fiber dept. and tastes yummy. Way better than the oatmeal in the store. You can find it cheaper at the health food store in bulk. I hope this day is going good for you. ginnie

Dear Bobby,

I wish you an anxiety-free year.

How are you doing?

the metamucil worked today but i am not sure about yesterday. I woke up so depressed today and yesterday I just couldnt look at the computer. I feel i just have bad news coming forward. I see my doctor on thursday for a physical and will tell him about my constipation. my sister and a neighbor told me to try activia. I also have to make an appt with the eye doctor and last time he had trouble with his new machine that looks at the back of the eye. that really scared me. then i started a new prescription drug plan and it 320 deductible and it doesn't take one of my medications. I can't get myself to exercise. I am not helping myself. I am so fearful. I am escaping in books.
what a mess.
I appreciate your kind thoughts. I wish i could get out of this funk

I hope your appt. goes OK. I also suffer that constipation and found something that does work. Steal cut oatmeal. It has such alot of fibre in it, that it never fails me. You can get it in a health food store in bulk. It is cheap and taste a whole lot better than any from quaker oats etc. This also helped me to loose 65 pounds and keep it off. I try to eat it as often as I can. Hope you try it. ginnie

hi ginnie
i have it in my apartment and will try it
thanks a lot
bobby

oops I forgot about the new thread.

I just don't have the memory I wished I did.

Keep with the oatmeal for consecutive days. You may be surprised. Hope I could help you. ginnie

I don't think that any of the yogurt brands really help with regularity.
Good luck with the steel oats! Myralax would work guaranteed but is expensive I think...$20 a month generic at walmart.
thinking of you and wishing you had less anxiety...I think you will feel much better after thursday is over.

I tried all the yogurt too. I didn't want to spend the money with meds from walgreens. I tried the oats, as recommended from a friend. This has been the only thing that works for me. Now I don't have to take any kind of supplement to be normal. It is also a good comfort food for the winter. Stay warm bizi, its cold outside, even down here. ginnie

Hi,

I love steel cut oatmeal.
I put it in the crockpot over night on slow and it is ready in the morning.
