Hi 2lyle, With both my GP and Urologist,its a sin.NO constipation,I take daily dosages and like today had a moderate bowel movement.So I will have to use a enema probably tomorrow if it doesnt get better.So sorry you have the issue of either it swings one way of the other.I never have that.Yes,I eat veggies and fruits and try to eat what helps me go.
Wow,yes you will be really going with all the fluid going through you! I also take Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg per day,so understand what it can do,but with the foley it doesnt matter as much as it did without it.
I see you have been a loyal customer to a Gastrologist,and my Dr is encouraging me to see one,but I have stalled on it,I know in time he will get his way,but I know once I start going to one,then they will have their hooks in me,and will have to go like you do.
Yes,I have been very lucky not having infections.Guess I have great resistence and that is a good thing
Not sure what to tell you on the blood thing,I have only ran into that once,and it was because the Nurse inflated a foley outside my bladder neck!She felt awful,and so did I! Yes,its hurt like crazy,and I bled till that evening some,but was fine the next day. Can you be without a Foley any length of time? A friend likes to leave one out for a couple days trying to empty out stones,but he stays home,as he now is fully incontinent.He doesnt have retention.So I would have to self cath,and that would be rough,as I suppose my bladder is so small now Lynnan
