Jay thanks too, its encouraging to know that something has worked for such a long time
I know for me the key is routine. Everytime i dont follow my routine i run into issues. I continue to struggle with hemarroids though and am wondering whether i am damaging myself somehow. Off to see my gp tomorrow to get her take on it. It is so helpful to talk openly about these so very difficult issues. Thanks everyone
Thanks for sharing your protocol. I'll bet you eat a pretty similar diet each day? Glad to hear someone is doing well in this dept!
No not really, I have egg and bacon breakfast, big lunch and small dinner.
I always have hardy breakfast, including protein (usually eggs). Also try to eat my main meal early enough in day to use the calories! I find it best to eat two meals, supplemented with a fruit snack if I am hungry and just a little something for night meds. That way my bowel rests in between, which seems to help digest what I eat better. If I go off this pattern, then my BP gets messed up.

Yeah I must do the same and after 27 years since I broke my neck, I need a little help from milk of magnesia.
I have not had any help with my bowel management nothing at all .. no one seems to care.. I sometimes go for two to three weeks without going . I am in sheer terror that I will have a bowel accident at work ...... no oral stuff works on me I even once took a whole bottle of senekot all at once ...... I am getting very distressed over my bowel not working for weeks at a time
I was using senna for years. I was told to stop using it and to just last week by a SCI continence nurse to use movicol x 2 and two coloxyl, green label each day until I have a good clean out then switch to every other day. The movicol makes the bulk, like senna and the softener makes it soft. Soon I will be trying the peristeen.
Given how time consuming the whole routine can be, I left an old laptop in the bathroom. That way I can stream netflix while I'm doing my routine. The other day, my doctor asked me how long--on average--it took me to complete my routine. My response was, "Well it really depends on whether there's a new season of the Walking Dead on. . . "
