Chronic Recurring Constipation
A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭

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.

What To Do Next??
A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭

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.
