jlstjohn, so very nice to meet someone who takes as much 💩💩meds/supplements as I do. 17 yrs, you would think those people called doctors could have found something that REALLY helped. But nope. My long term GI, basically fired me as his patient; probably because 3 months after he had me have a CT, to disprove 2 X-ray results that a small bowel partial obstruction was forming.... I was in the ER , via ambulance (it takes a lot to get me to use an ambulance or ER. But there I was with a nasal gastric tube , OUCH! and a partial forming. This will never ever happen to me again. That is why I keep my poop between very loose mush to diarrhea. The soap enema???? I have never heard of it. What kind of soap? I am praying with all my might, that a big part of my motility is due to my Hyperparathyroidism and elevated calcium. Longggg story. Elevated calcium levels can wreak havoc on all smooth muscles, the exact ones needed to expel 💩💩. If I don't have to cancel a 3rd time due to other health problems, I'm gonna have the surgery next month. I can't wait. Hoping it helps several other problems too. ShelleyW
