Thanks for the helpful advice.. Did you do this routine when you just had some discomfort and maybe something was "brewing"?--Didn't the pepto tablets cause some constipation? I think the pepto tablets have some anti -infammory effect..maybe-----------need to try and avoid any more infections!!!!! And yes, the anxiety and depressed it caused sucks! Definitly feels like I'm a prisoner!!!!!

@mtpeony When had my first BM in the morning and then the next and the pain/fever started; I would do this "routine" I had to go to work! Or, had to go " somewhere" and had no option to just stay home.
It usually kick's in after my 2nd round of teas within a couple of hours and you will urinate like crazy! Then relief!
But, of course no one at work knew how much pain I was in. Some days I thought I was not going to make it. I would get up an hour early just so I knew if it was safe enough after first BM.
The Pepto will cause your stools to be black. I would never go 2 days if needed. And I never got constipated. Heck, I had IBS too. LOL That is one thing I do not have any more after the surgery! Can't believe I lived like that for so long. I always joke IBS is a "symptom" NOT A DIAGNOIS (: I know now it was my diverticulitis 🙁
