I never had this problem until I took a trip to Florida last Feb.; traveling has a way of making my digestive system grind to a halt, and not pooping for several days then drinking senna tea threw my digestive system into VERY painful symptoms for eight months after that. I tried everything naturopathic and homeopathic I could find to help get it cleared up, and it finally was doing fairly well until I got a stomach flu three days ago. Now I am back where I started symptom-wise. The upshot is that in addition to all my painful stomach and colon symptoms, I developed the inability to drink water - which I love; we get our water from an artesian spring - and that improved but didn't completely go away, and now since the flu it is back. I was able to help the water absorption by making sole (pronounced so-lay) - which is himalayan salt (or any other natural salt of your preference) dissolved into water until the water will absorb no more - and putting a half teaspoon of it into my 24 oz water bottle along with 15-20 drops of Cellfood, which tastes very citrusy and oxygenates, removes toxins and helps the body absorb minerals. So back on my former regimen I go - soothing and healing teas, probiotics, and doctored water. I still don't know what the problem is that causes this acute discomfort, though, after being seen by doctors, scoped, and tested for IBS and pancreatic stuff. I also found that monolaurin (brand name Lauricidin) helped for the food part of it.
