Karen, I buy my probiotics at WalMart. You take two in the morning with breakfast and that's it for the day. They are "good" bacteria and they help to clear out all the bad bacteria in your digestive tract as well as help to digest foods. A bottle was less than 10 dollars and I took them in to see my GI doc and he said those were just fine, I didn't need to spend lots and lots of money (which I do NOT have!) on an expensive bottle from a specialty store.

WWM...I'm relatively certain that I'm getting enough fiber and was actually using some metamucil until I discovered that without enough (how much is enough?) fluids it can do the opposite....well I decided to stop that one for now. The smaller food portions I eat seems to help me though it leaves my stomach always feeling on the verge of hunger. I'm afraid this whole bladder thing did overshadow the digestive thing as far as an ER visit. I understand though that in ER they are meant to address the immediate problem only which was the blood in urine and pain in same area. Thanks for sending email info.....it's been a crazy morning and my inbox is up to 100 messages which for me is ghastly! I'm on my way now to see what enlightenment you bring me. You are so wonderful Betty....You do so much input with us all here that I almost think we should be giving you a paycheck or sending you on a lovely tropical vacation! XOXOX

ACK!!! I haven't sent it yet but am off to do that now. If you use the Metamucil Clear and Natural, it doesn't have the side effects that the Metamucil that has Psyllium Husk in it. That's the one that turns into sort of a disgusting gel if you don't drink it fast enough. And you don't have to drink as much liquid with the Clear and Natural. I would say start with one rounded teaspoon per day. You can take up to three, but when you dramatically increase your fiber, it causes some....err... socially unacceptable squeaks and noises at the most inopportune times!

Hahaha! Betty you're so funny and so helpful! Thanks sweetie and the info you emailed will help me alot! I definitely want to have the Miralax on hand and I love prune juice and bet it is even tasty when heated up! Sigh! Aging isn't for sissies is it? =)
Susie wouldn't that be the ultimate Tropical Vacation??? The whole bunch of us together for a luau and a few pina collatas (sp?) ??? Sigh! =)

I use Miralax twice a day and it is "gentle" and NO I don't get all the squeaks and inappropriate noises you do with adding all the extra fiber! I am all for the TDK Luau with EVERYONE there! Wouldn't that be fun! Does anyone here play the lottery so we can AFFORD it? If so, we can all go to a tropical island!
