Eating One or Two Meals a day was Vital to My health Gut.
My Colon Was Cleaned out by doubling Up on my Meds(3 days) and Contrast.
I was so fatigued for days, and now I feel like a new person
I got out of bed with a new energy.
I do appreciate my doctor; She is the best. She is worth all the bills she charges my Insurance.
She may trick me into getting the contrast but it was necessary for my gut health.
Anxiety sometimes prevents me from getting the care I really need. I went to two hospitals, and that's all I needed.
Today, I feel like Supergirl on steroids, lol(figure of Speech)
In December 2024, I went to the hospital and found out my colon was full. They wanted to treat me by extracting stool from my behind. I said no. I went home, doubled up on my meds, and ate one meal to two meals a day.
Yesterday, I had a CT scan with double-dose contrast. ( I normally drink half of the 5 cups) The IV was so warm. My colon is no longer full. Nice work, Mariann Carroll. You save yourself from having an Obstructive Bowel.

Wow, that much have been really uncomfortable. 😦 I'm glad you're better now!
That does not sound like a fun jolly time for you, but so glad you're better 😀
Wow... I didn't think they did that anymore. I worked in a nursing home when a teen and they used to be called checks. Removing BM from the elderly that were becoming impacted. There was a protocol. stool softener, enema, and day 3 with no BM, then checks. Not fun. Helped me to stay away from nursing and to go back to school so I wouldn't do that job anymore!😉😂😊❤️ Thankfully I have been regular as I age.
Yayyyyy, I'm so happy to hear that! May you only get even better 🥰🥰🥰
