I try to do a routine daily, in the morning but don't always get results. Once I went 8 days!! Argh. I was crazy bloated and nauseous. Enemas don't seem to work. They go in and never come out. Laxatives make me very gaseous and they don't help either. Im hoping that getting a veggie volume up will help.
Woah, how can that even happen?! I'd go to the hospital after the third day, thankfully nothing happened to you! It seems like you have a flaccid bowel. I'm surprised nothing works. The complications associated with any spinal injury is just nuts. Have you tried peristeen? Butiki has CES and has found that it works best for him!
LOL that looks like the best solution to constipation! The reviews are hilarious!
One of the review -
My experience started like many others, some customer dropped off some bags of these for Christmas, after looking at them for the better part of a month I decided to eat some. The first day I had about 20-25 of them, that night i experienced some slight discomfort and crazy dreams , but I did not associate it with the demon spawn gummy bears. The next day, I had about a handful more of these delicious little devils and all hell broke loose. After several short trips to the bathroom and gas noises like I have never heard coming from my stomach before, I decided to head home, but first stop by the store to pick up some antacids.
Just as I got inside my local grocery store it hit me, I broke out in a cold sweat, my hands were clammy and the pain from my lower intestine was unreal, it felt as if Satan himself was reaching inside of me and spinning my intestines on his finger. I was around ten isles away from the back corner where the public bathroom was located when Satan's little helpers let me know I was not going to make it there. I immediately started to walk like I was trying to hold a golf ball between both knees and waddle to the back isle all the time praying I could keep my sphincter closed long enough. Those ten isles might as well been ten miles, it was not going to wait, about this time I spied another pair of doors marked employees only and pushed my way inside. I saw a small bathroom for employees and went straight to it, all the while a stock boy is trying to stop me and tell me I can't use it. I stiff arm him from my football days and say in what must have sounded like a demonic voice from hell " I'm sick, back off".
To my immediate relief I got the door shut and locked just in time for Mt. St Helen's to blow, Unfortunately ,I was not able to sit fast enough before spraying the back wall and toilet tank with a putrid black paint. At that exact moment, I did not even care, I was so relieved to have this sewage pouring out of me so violently that I could have levitated off the seat of the toilet if I wasn't holding on to the handicapped bars for dear life, I swear there are probably small dents in the stainless steel bar where my fingers were. After what seemed like an hour, I felt safe enough to stand and start the long clean up process, to my horror, I looked down to notice two mostly empty rolls of toilet paper. Are you freaking kidding me? This is a grocery store with pallets of toilet paper, right? After several minutes of trying to macgyver a solution, my only option was to ask the poor soul who had been knocking on the bathroom door for the last thirty minutes to please get me some paper. In retrospect, I should have asked for a dozen boxes of baby wipes as well.
After doing my best to clean what I could, I made my hasty retreat. I never understood how someone could spray fecal mater on a wall until now, clearly they had some of these delicious spawn from hell. I can never go back in this store as I am sure they all have some grainy picture from their video system taped to all the registers, with my picture on it, as the guy who horribly desecrated their beloved employee bathroom. Thanks Haribo, now I have to shop at the more expensive store down the street, I can never show my face in their again, I am still the guy the new employees get told about to watch for, sorta an Urban legend by now.
Read these reviews with skepticism if you must, but if I had seen them they would have saved my three days of my life. I still have some kidney pain but I am making a full recovery. I would not wish these on my worst enemy. You are warned!
Hi chrioli, I have used peristeen for about two years now, it's not perfect but 100% on what I used to go through. I was always constipated and this horrible overflow thing happening, and it stunk like you wouldn't believe. But since using peristeen that has all gone, I go every morning, watch what I eat. Yes I still have the odd accident but nothing like before, up to ten clothes changes and showers a day. So all I can suggest is give peristeen a go.

Ok I need to give this a try and yes I must change my eating habits as well. I still work 40+ hours per week and there is nothing more humiliating than having that "accident" at work. Aside from work I am scared to go anywhere because of that special chance of the bowels letting go.
Does anyone have any suggestion as to where I can buy this?

Accidents are the worst jeff1967, that's something I'll always be worried about.
Hopefully the peristeen will help if you start using it! Look for medical supply vendors in your area and see if they have it.
I have gotten so paranoid that I feel like a prisoner in my home which does the same to my wife. I tell her to get out and go, she shouldn't suffer because of me but she just won't do it. She said she is in this for better or worse and will be by my side through the roughest of times. I feel so dang bad for her but she doesn't seem to mind and refuses to leave me at home alone when I feel I can't leave the house.
when I reached 8 days I felt ill and couldn't eat. I didn't realize it had been so long till I counted the days! I have such a problem I will ask about the peristeen. When I had the manometry the nurse said she put the maximum amount of air in the balloon, 250ml and I didn't feel it. The nerves are toast I tell ya;( She said normally there is a response at 60ml.

chrioli, I've hit that 8 day mark before and I "feel" your pain. I know it is coming soon and it does it is going to be a major poop-fest. I am going on 20 years with an SCI and have yet to have any kind of regular program and must do something because I know it is not healthy at all.

Yeah that's no good Jeff. Do you feel that way even on the days you have a good routine?
DJ, We I have a good colon cleansing day I feel like a million bucks! I'll be honest, I don't really have a routine. I just roll with the punches and pray I'm at home when the big kahuna hits.

Haha so you just go whenever you feel eh? So are you taking laxatives before hand and/or a suppository just before you go or do you not do that at all?
I was taking stool softners since I am on pain meds. They did absolutely nothing for me. Scared to death to take a laxative because my luck it won't kick in until the next day at work. I just have to start a routine and eating right must come first. I don't drink enough water at all and my choice of food isn't fit for any human being. I smoke too damn much which has nothing to do with taking a crap but just another list of bad habits that I have a hard time kicking LOL.
