I don't know if I have IBS. I've almost always been constipated, since I was a child.
It's not unusual for me to go a week without a bowel movement. My stool is almost never normal looking. Sometimes it gets so bad that I need, um mechanical help. It's bad. LOL
Doctors just tell me to eat more fiber. I tried taking Metamucil, but it made me even more constipated. Drinking more water doesn't help. My colon just sucks out all water from my poo.
Sometimes when it's bad, even Milk of Magnesia doesn't work. Docusate sodium doesn't work.
I need to take something every day to help things along. My colon just sucks out too much water.
I was doing ok being moderated constipated all the time, but ever since my new calorie counting it has gotten worse.
I'm going to buy some Restoralax after I finish off my mineral oil.
Will Restoralax affect my meds?
