I did try Milk of Magnesia but it caused diarrhea but maybe I'll try it again. My PC gave me Generlac in the past and that works very gently and I asked the doctor here about it but have not heard back from her as yet. I've also tried the tea Smooth Moves but it did not work that well. The bloating and distention has improved somewhat. I've been able to get out of the hotel for short trips to stores but always have to check out bathrooms in case of unexpected diarrhea. I'm trying to stay positive but waiting to hear back from the doctors and for the next tests on the 13th and appointments on the 13th and 15th are causing a lot of anxiety. Thanks for your support though. I appreciate it. Elaine
