TMI: I need help!!!

Ok. I have severe IBS. My colon literally doesn't work. I've tried many attempts at everything with no help. Or I find some regimine but it quits working. So for over a couple of weeks I've been really stressed out and skipped taking my daily 2 doses if miralax and laxatives. So one day I felt really bad which happened to be Monday. Well I realized it had been over a week since I had any kind of BM. My period is going to start any day which usually makes my constipation worse.

So that night I took 2 senna tabs and thought I'd go the next day after coffee like usual but I didn't. I got up and cleaned and spaced it. But then I started to be in severe pain. I kept trying to go with nothing happening. So I did a glycerine liquid suppository. Which I couldn't hold in and I just sat in the bathroom crying in pain and nothing happening. So I took 2 doses of miralax and did 2 sessions of abdominal massage. I woke up the next day and had a BM. So I keep doing the massages and been taking a laxative with 2 stool softeners every night. But nothing happened again. Today I woke up with my intestines doing crazy stuff but still can't go. Then I got hit with this horrible gas.

I don't know what to do. I'm scared. To top it off I have a phobia of vomit. So I'm really scared I'm gonna get sick. But I just can't go to the bathroom! It's so frustrating.

Have you been checked by a gastro physician?

If this is a chronic condition and your doctor has ruled out a blockage or other serious issues, you could be responding to a food or foods you do not tolerate.

I get your symptoms and often get bouts of constipation. What helps me, in addition to miralax, is monitoring my diet to avoid foods I have discovered are triggers. I cannot eat gluten. Even a little will trigger an attack.

I take probiotics and probiotics.

If I get an attack such as you are describing, I go on the GAPS diet, starting with the introductory level. I follow the guidelines exactly. This has successfully turned around my symptoms three times now.

I hope you are feeling better soon.

go see gi dr. there are a couple good drugs out there for ibs-c. i tried amitiza and it works wonders for me. there's another on called linness or something like that
