Hi i have had this constipation problem for along time i would say for about 8years! i have tryed everything i beleive and am tired of the uncomfortable pain i go through just to have to move my bowels i am 30 years old now! i have to either do a ducucolax which makes me sick for 2 days after or i have to do the suppository and enenema just to move them and it still hurts!i have been to dr after dr and they tell me to do high fiber diet and do fiber supplement and drink lots of water i have and im still constipated what next CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE??????????
oh yeh i forgot to mention the severe pain is always on my upper and lower left side of abdomen! and there is always mucous in my stools when i do go sometimes its red and alot of the time i have black darkened areas on stool that worries me cause i have had a precancerous polyp removed 4months ago!
You do need to have these new areas of bleeding checked out by the doc. In the meantime though add Metamucil 3 times daily to your routine and add a stool softener such as colace aka docusate twice daily to help soften your stools. Dulcolax is a rather harsh laxative so I would tend to stay away from this. Use a glycerin suppository if no BM by the third day and if this does not produce sufficient results then go ahead with a baking soda enema. Since you are under a docs care when you see them about the new onset of blood in your stools ask them about a prescription laxative such as Miralax. In the meantime though increase the metamucil and add the stool softener. Also be sure to eat plenty of prunes or drink prune juice regularly.
thank you for replying migable! i will try the colace and ask dr about miralax,?? this miralax is that pill form? i cant do the metummucil thing so i do Benefiber instead. i eat lots of fresh friut and drink lots of water also! i just dont understand why i am always constipated ! if u have any other suggestions or anyone else does please help! thankyou!
Miralax is a liquid. As to why you are constipated.....are you on any other medications? Due you perhaps have a mega colon? Are you getting enough exercise? You mention having had the constipation for about 8 years.............was there a particular incident you can remember that happened when you first noticed it?
migable, ty for replying again yes after i had my first child i started having bowel trouble! yes i get plenty of exercise i beleive. i was on pain meds for awhile from endometriosis but now i am on lupron injections for that so as far as meds goes i am on zoloft and the lupron injection and clonopin for restlessleg syndrome but gastro dr put me on cytotec to counter act clonopin. like i said before i told him about new sympyoms and darkened area and blood and mucous and sayss its because of being constipated i am just worried bacayse i have had alot of stomach and bowel trouble going on for to long and the polyps . i am 30 yrs old now i have had 5 polyps removed last one was precancerous and i am due to have another colonoscopy done in october.sorry this is so long! and i want to ty for the help u have given me so far. i have just been in pain for to long and it has caused me and my family alot of pain and stress i have 3 young children and am tired of them seeing me in pain all the time.sorry to vent on you !i will go now
