Well, the half pill for a BM didn't work. Tonight I ate a peeled apple and a boiled potato with salt. Half hour later: Attack! The knife attack!! I now wonder if my colon doesn't like apple or potato. Time for another pain pill.

I can't say exactly what caused the pain you experienced, @maxine50, but the apple would have done it for me. Lots of fiber which would trigger symptoms. Like I said, that is just what I would have experienced.
When you say you took "half a pill" what kind of pill was it? Have you ever tried a liquid laxative product like Milk of Magnesia or liquid Dulcolax. Liquid laxative products work better for me, but you it might be good to check with your doctor first as you don't want to exacerbate the pain.
