Hi, everybody. I get two different kinds of blockages - the constipation kind, and the "mucus getting in the way" kind. When I get the latter kind, the number two is thinner and there's some mucus dripping into the toilet. For that, I use what CHOP calls a "mucomyst cocktail." You dump a vial of mucomyst in a cup, add some fruit juice or soda to it to make it "palatable" (yeah, right), hold your nose, and drink it like a shot of alcohol - real fast! It works.
