Try fleet mineral oil enema Ronnie,no cramps
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?
Yes getting weekly enemas has made it impossible for me to go potty without them still
I have not heard of it but I hope it works for you. I use miralax in the morning and drink apple cider at night to help with constipation. Its so frustrating dealing with constipation!
Forgot to add i have recently been prescribed Mabeveriine Hydrochloride 135 mg x 3 and Amitriptyline 10mg. The latter helps relax me at night and the other helps reduce 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
I wouldn't say I have a flare up everyday or extreme pain, but I definitely do have abdominal discomfort at least 6/7 days of the week. I'm new to this diagnosis and am just trying to figure out what is common/normal for this.
Any information/testimonies would be great
I have pain pretty well everyday but when it is really bad I have to stay in bed.
Is it just me or is anyone else tired even after a really goodnights sleep
Yep always tired as well.
How does IBS affect you other illness? And the other way around?
I have bipolar depression, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, ADHD, chronic migraine, and GERD. I see Iβm not alone here! My IBS-A seems to flare up with the anxiety and migraine. My doctors andβ¦ read more
Can it safely be used twice a week
I have used prune juice and it does work, but now I use Miralax and it has helped me so far. I also take Fibercon and 3 stool softners at night. So far it has worked.
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!
