And still the pain increased. (No pain today. Lovely!)<BR/><BR/>I really think I'm at a point where I need to stop treating the symptoms and focus on discovering the cause. What initially started my digestion off in the direction it went when I was 6? What happened then that lodged itself in my body? That's what I need to focus on, or I'll be forever dependent upon fiber and Preparation H.Keera Ann Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466103379725251225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750259.post-79619966893246819442008-05-20T05:55:00.000+02:002008-05-20T05:55:00.000+02:00Hmmm.

Yikes. <BR/><BR/>I'd suggest a fiber laxative (like Metamucil) and a small dose of senna leaf tea (it's an OM herb, readily available OTC in the US). I think that if you can get your Large Intestine working again, you won't need the Zantac.<BR/><BR/>Remember about using that acupoint for constipation - the one on your arm? have you been working with that? also the point Ren 12, which is 1/2 way between your umbilicus and the place where your ribs join up at the base of your sternum. When my digestion is wonky I have a hard place there. Again, simply holding those 2 acupoints with intention is all it takes.SolSionnachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018919606074858784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750259.post-71048947874765364142008-05-19T22:06:00.000+02:002008-05-19T22:06:00.000+02:00I love food, too.

I went to the doctor because things got worse in spite of the fiber and teas and fennel oil. It's not like me to wake up with pain, and the pain is far more annoying than the quirky digestion.Keera Ann Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466103379725251225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750259.post-45997923271859243302008-05-19T21:52:00.000+02:002008-05-19T21:52:00.000+02:00I love food!

I have a similar problem and when I remember to take two fiber pills at night with a cup of warm tea, the problem usually resolves itself the next day. You could try that? The pills are OTC and pretty inexpensive.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352412943602159027noreply@blogger.com
