The Trots!

[Forseegood]

I realize this post is in very poor taste...but I can't afford to be to civilized right now, I need some feedback...perhaps the more genteel of you will let me slide (hmm...bad choice of words maybe? lol) Anyway, the Alinia kinda does this on it's own anyway, but it's tolerable...but the added Riba, anyway, does this going number 2, a whole lot! Ever let up? Is it just something that happens in the beginning? Cause daaaan...I'm fixin' to put some wheels on a latrine and drag it around with me! I need a fixed position on a bathroom wherever I go! so to speak! any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks in advance....oh, and you Alinia people, whats your take on this problem with just the Alinia?

[orleans]

HEY, I JUST did ask about you on the other side. I haven't seen you post lately, but then again I have been really busy and may have missed you. How is it going? Any PCRs yet? Any other ad sides? later, jerry

Like Forsee, I'm on Alinia and Riba which totally annihilates your good intestinal bacteria and (this is gross so be prepared) -- I had stool leaking into my underwear constantly and was suffering a bad case of diaper rash.  I was cruisin' the net for a butt plug and not for my sensual pleasure  :)

Found a cure, though, that might help everyone with runny stools -- I started drinking live liquid probiotics as recommended by HR and also taking prebiotics with FOS (comes in powder or capsules).  The probiotics must be refrigerated and can be found at health food stores.  I drank about 16 ounces over 4 days.  Not only do they taste delicious they calm my quesy stomach.

Hope this helps,

Kittyface

"...the Charlie Chaplin walk when out in public"

It's when the Charlie Chaplin walk suddenly turns into the John Wayne swagger that you know yooz in trouble....

[anise]

Wow, you are treating!  I haven't been on for a while, but this was good news to hear.  So when is the first shot?  You will have a great handle on this tx as you have waited, watched and heard everything.  Good luck to you!

[gauf]

We are all different eh?  Nothing caused me any poop problems til I added Resveratrol. YIKES!  It still causes me problems and can only take a 1/2 dose per day.  Will not be taking it on tox though, so I will soon get that relief. (small consulation)

[geterdone]

During the riba drip stage Bananas and Yogurt helped me firm things up but did not completely eliminate the Charlie Chaplin walk when out in public. I thought it was hilarious going through this stage because one does not usually think of restroom locations when going out and it had become my first priority when doing so, lol.

Meki, back to the standard 24 in the cubbie, lol.

Why does Riba cause diarrhea? Does it kill at the good bacteria in the digestive system?

[willing]

4c: hey - what could be more appropriate at the start of the  big roller-coaster ride..hang on tight!
(and think of  the many advantages; I had to avoid long meetings for a whole year)

gd: the kind of  sound advice that makes this place so worthwhile;  when I think of all the laundry I could have saved by just staying away from the cayenne..

[CockSparrow]

Take Riba in the middle of a meal not b4 or after.
Try it you see or is feel the difference.
And add several billion of them little critters.

sldb
Yep Riba does do this.

CS

[scratchinghead]

exercise more

[Forseegood]

was so nervous that I didn't even realize I started a poopy thread! and I've been in so many! lol...just to clarify...the alinia really didn't cause much of this ahhh...stuff...like the riba...in fact, the alinia didn't really cause much of anything which I'm thankful for...I figure, can't be that bad if no sides...anyway, wish you all the best night....like soft clouds....(good to see you too Canny!)

[meki]

Bidet --- Bidet --- I have one -- It's wonderful --- btw...

LOL!

[sldb]

I see where Alinia causes diarrhea,but havent  read where Riba does.  Wow you have got to be miserable,i feel for you.  All i have to offer is: invest in a tube of BOUDREAUX'S  BUTT PASTE, no joke it really works, get some baby wipes, and dont end up like that woman in Kansas City who sat on the toilet for 2yrs. and she b/c one with the toilet seat (LOL) ......Leah

[R Glass]

Try Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.

[meki]

OMG Jasper I remember that!!!! How many do you have now?

[geterdone]

LOL! and you all thought I was nuts way back when. I had 132 rolls of turlet paper when first starting TX. Wait until the riba settles in, sorry

I dunno if this settles out.. I hope so for you .. for me this is just beginning at start of Week 6 .. slightly nauseous feeling alot of the time and getting "looser" if you know what I mean.  Afraid to "pass gas" for what I'll pass instead.  Wore brown pants to work today.  Might have to get more but not exactly a "spring" colour, you know? :)  Maybe it's temporary, I dunno.  All I know is it's happening.  I've been eating waffles for breakfast, might have to go back to toast and cheddar again after reading this post. :)

Good luck .. this too shall pass.  

Hm.  Perhaps an unfortunate choice of words............

[GoofyDad]

I think it's pretty likely that you'll settle back closer to your natural rythmn pretty soon. This is a waaaay stressful time - but it definitely improves once you have a couple injections under you skin. Be sure you avoid pepper for a while - not that it affects the gasto much, but a sneeze at this juncture could be most unfortunate.

Hello Bean!! Hello Can-do!! Yupp not gonna miss a good thread like this....

  

[merlino]

Can-do-man is right about the potassium. When I finished tx my potassium level was low.nothing dangerous but low still the same.

[can-do-man]

Lets squeeze thru the mustard, and cut the cheese here. Good chance you will swing both ways girl. ( tx. wise that is) Hershey squirts now the pillsbury dough boy later.

Just make sure while the trots keep you running you keep an eye on your potassium levels....... Wishing you the best gal.

canman, spent alot of time in the can

[merlino]

You are too funny!!! I had this problem the entire time on tx. If I did manage to eat anywhere near a full meal I knew I had better stay home or ELSE. I am in sales and I can;t tell you how nervous I would be in a meeting with a client and get that sudden pain. I'm lucky I only lost the 15lbs. Good news is it stopped shortly after tx was done. Stock up on Tucks. They really help.

[meki]

This thread is funny. I give it a Triple A+ rating.

*grin*

Hello!
so, did you ever hear the diarrhea song from "Parenthood"? (when you're sliding into home, and your pants are full of foam, diarrhea, diarrhea... etc)...LOL...Sorry, not funny, I know...this just started a few days ago for me, and I've been attributing it to caffeine influence...Gawd! I hope that's all it is!  Hmm...Cheese and those army crackers (I think the old fashioned term is Pilot bread)...that's guaranteed to slow up the works!  I wish I could think of something more witty...LOL
