Mineral Oil

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to pop on here and let those of you seeking relief for pain during BMs know that my doctor recommended consuming a tablespoon of mineral oil 1-2 times a day. I have had surprisingly good results from this over the past couple of days. I am not a doctor, so I'm not giving this out as medical advice, but hopeful that it might help a few others the way it seems to be helping me. I have 12 more radiation sessions to go and I think this may be a life-saver for me!  Good luck, and best wishes to all!
