Sooooooo I had to take GoLytely this morning because FINALLY my CF doc listened to me! I kep complaining about being soooooo bloated no matter what I eat! They took an x-ray of my tummy and low and behold guess what? I was full of poop from one end to the other.....LITTERALLY! I kid you not I saw the x-ray. I was full of poop from one end of the intestines to the other end. I could only drink half the dose cause I had NO room left in tummy for more and plus I was about to vomit. (Not the greatest tasting stuff in the world).
So my question is....to stop this from happening again, being full of poop that is, what can I do or take to stop this from happeneing again? Can I take fibre supplements, or something along that line? Or can you suggest anything else to do or take, that is if you've been in my position. I DO NOT want to take this stuff again!
The only things I am taking right now for my CF and CFRD are my enzymes and my Vitamins ADEK. That's it that's all!

Please Help!

ask your doctor for a Rx for miralax or something similar that you can use daily or every other day... disolves to nothing in liquid... can use it in juice if you don't like its taste in water... or buy the stool softener pills over the counter...

Try a strong laxative, like Miralax, twice a day. Also try to keep up on fiber. Not that I'm the best at keeping "unplugged", so to speak, I've had a ton of x-rays like your recent one. Another thing that helps when in the situation you are in (if the GoLytely doesn't do the job) is a gastrografin enema. It's horrible to have one done, embarassing and pretty uncomfortable, but it really helps. Ask your doc about it.

Do you use the HFCC Vest? It keeps me regular. I know, that's not what its intended before but every morning I have to go after using it.
