One silly thing I did was once I started to feel better, I started exercising more and lost some weight and I squeezed into some pants I had grown out of and caused myself to be constipapted. TPS(tight pants syndrome). I'm sure that this isn't your problem but don't give up hope, you will find something that works.Thanks guys. I am sure I still have some citrucel on the shelf from my Pamelor days (the great constipator for me). I love coming here and discussing my constipation. lol I will continue to drink my jugs of Poland, walk, eat right, down citrucel and hope for the best. Wish me luck and thanks again.
