Bowel Buddies
by Jesse
(Canada)
1. There are cookies or waffers actually called Bowel Buddies available in Canada and probably could be purchased on the net. They are a little pricey but have definitely made an improvement towards bowel stability in my life. I eat one everyday and I'd say my episodes were cut in about half. I've tried Pills and herbal remedies and they all have done nothing for me. Bowel buddies are they only thing I've been happy with spending my money on.
2. Also have a good interesting book or magazine stashed away in the bathroom. Distraction is a good way to calm you and may prevent any unneccessary straining, which can lead to further problems.
3. Eating at restaurants always makes me ill. If it bothers you - Eat an hour or two before you go out. You'll save cash, just order an appetizer or a drink.
