Hey Nina:

Don't really take anything for it, really have not had symptoms they speak of like cramping, bloating or abdominal pain. Instructions included things like resting when symptomatic, drinking extra liquids (non-caffeine), eating a well balanced diet high in fiber, and low in salt and fat, including whole grains, bran, and fresh fruit and vegetables. Try to have a bowel movement same time each day, and if you have abdominal pain, place a heating pad or warm washcloth over abdomen. And do not use laxatives unless OK with your doctor (I never did anyway).

Well, I eat lots of fiber, but salt and fat too as I think I need it due to mercury. This might have caused it, or the mercury?

Whatever, in your case, if this only happened once, you may want to monitor yourself over a few months, trying to be good with diet etc., and see how it goes. If it keeps up, then go in. Just my opinion, of course. It does say call your doctor if you have a fever, increased pain, bowel movements black or bright red, or nausea and swelling in your abdomen.

Hope it all goes well for you. I will tell you I felt relief after it was over knowing I did not show any huge problems.
