Going to the bathroom

[Giggles]

So does anyone notice as they have gotten older that going #2 is different than it use to be? I do not know if it is my age or my diabetes but I seem to need more fiber in my diet and taking Miralax keeps me very regular with no hard stools. I do go every morning but I only go once a day. Is that enough? Is it my age or my diabetes? Anyone else notice any changes in that dept. since they have gotten older? As your CF gets worse does that digestion and going #2 get affected? I think I might just stay on Miralax since it keeps #2 going and soft. I know gross but I have had some big ones HA HA HA and it ripped my butt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My intern doctor said to just stay on the Miralax so I do not keep ripping that fissure open.... Nice huh!!! Ya all can stop laughing!

But seriously does anyone else notice these differences. I use to go #2 right after lunch and I swore my food was passing through me! Now I go once in the morning and it is good and solid and sinks to bottom so I know I am digesting the fats well. But just once a day????

I do take 5 of the MT 20's with meals and I did up that recently cause I was getting lots of gas and stomach aches but now since increasing the MT 20's I feel alot better.

Does the enzymes make it hard to go! Maybe I am fighting a loosing battle.

Just wanted to see what others were going through.

Thanks

LOL only cause you told me to stop <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

I have noticed a change since I have gotten older but not the same as yours. I go more times a day sometimes and it is ALOT more when I go (eww I hate talking pooh).

I know that if you swallow alot of mucus it can affect your intestines but I am not entirely sure how...someone else on here will know I am sure!!!

If you are having some problems with not going enough or them being really hard adjust your enzymes based on what you eat. For example. When I know I am eating somehting lite as a meal like just a sandwhich I won't take my usualy 6 because it is too much. I will usually only take 5. And when I am eating something super greasy like Wendy's I up it to 7 or 8. Works for me <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I use to be like clock work to go right after dinner. Never failed. Once a day after dinner.

Now its whenever. Annoys the crap out of me (pun intended <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">)

Once a day isnt terrible tho different for you. As long as everything else is ok I wouldnt worry.
