Is there anyway you could please hit comment and list if you are trying to relieve constipation, or stop going to the bathroom. Lomotil would stop you up, and the enema should clean you out. If you will drink some water,( i hate water) and make sure it is warm, it may help, it definitely will help rehydrate you. Either way, you may also need some gatorade to replace the electrolytes lost from frequent bathroom trips. Drink some water and then let us know if you are trying to still clear constipation, or stop chronic diarrhea.

Dav- I have been experiencing terrible constipation as well, due to my medication. I have never had such an adverse reaction to the fleet, and I feel pretty certain that is not what has caused this, as it sounds like more of a bacterial issue. The fleet cannot get so far up into your intestines to produce the amount of times you are having to go to the restroom. I agree with Patti that you definitely need to get some gatorade or Life Water into you! These have the electrolytes that your body needs and it needs it asap. You don't want to get into a cycle of stopping, starting, stopping... this will wreak havoc on the body. Try the replinishments and check back with us to let us know how you are doing.
Patti- I have FINALLY met someone else that hates water!! I always thought i was the only one. That makes me feel so much better!
