Actually, I totally empathize with you. I've got the biggest firmest juiciest ripest trapped poo in me! My cervical spine is KILLING ME! I'm wearing slippers. Anyways, drink lots of WATER. (I feel so blech that I'm doing flat gingerale and feel so much better!) Grab a heating pad. Put those feet up. It's like I've got the biggest KINK in my colon. One of those twister cramps. (Ever had one of those twist tie kind of cramps?) For me, I know it's because I haven't had a SOLID FORMED bm in awhile and well, it takes time to regain bowel tone and get those pelvic floor muscles in shape. So, I'm doing squats, too. I feel like this bm is fighting gravity! Popped tylenol--feel much better too!
If you're up to some safely prepped veggies, that will help. Confession: NOTHING makes me go more than BEETS and these organic unsulfured apricot snacks.
Anyways, all will be well when I drop the BOMB! I'm so glad I quit Nexium; my D is so much reduced! Also, the Nexium belly distention has vanished completely.
