Can Frequent Enema Use Lead To Getting Hooked On Enemas?
I've had chronic constipation since age 14,doctors back then told my mom to give me Fleet enema if I didn't have a BM by day 3 ,well I wound up having to get enemas from my mom (an exn LVN),almost every week till now(I'm in 50s)..
I just read that too frequent of enemas can cause dependence on enemas anyone else know?

Whats The Best Meds For Constitpation
I use miralax in my morning coffee and drink pasturized apple cider at night
I Recently Started Colestipol. I Feel Like I Am Having The Opposite Problem. Instead Of Upset Stomachs 3/4 Times A Day, I Can’t Go At All.
Dx IBS-D but have had weeks that I am constipated and then diarrhea for days. I can have weeks of normal GI going-ons as well. So wondering if this dx is correct or if something else could be going on. I was treated for diverticulitis (suspected) in February. Things were GREAT while I was on those meds.

When I Was Diagnosed With IBS-C, The Doctor Told Me To Take A Probiotic And Miralax Every Day. Does Anyone Else Use Miralax Daily? Thanks

What Helps You With Constipation.
I use Miralax every night sometimes twice a day, and it has saved me! What helps you with constipation?
I do two things, Natural Calm (magnesium citrate) taken twice daily. Then I have been trying a new fiber called Pinch Magic fiber.. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, that is imperative!
What To Do Next??
I am at a bit of a loss here. I have been on this "investigation" of why my stomach sucks for the last 2 years but have suffered silently for the last 15 years.

Chronic Recurring Constipation
I was diagnosed with IBS in my 20's (I am 58). In the past several months, I get constipated constantly. It's quite uncomfortable, and can days for me to fully empty. I feel nauseous and blocked and sometimes have pain in my left side. Sometimes things will loosen up, thrn the process repeats itself. My last conoscopy they said I have a tortued colon. I am due another procedure in December. I am worried this is something serious. Anyone experience this?
Hi, I was diagnosed at 18 and I am 59 now and I have the same thing. I developed IBS with constipation so I take IBSrella. IBS for so many years can make the descending colon twist and weak it's very… read more
Citrucel
I use a Fiber Tab form. The tablet is large and sometimes difficult to swallow, but usually is less messy and awkward than using Citrucel suspension in water or OJ.
