Hello all,
After years of pain after every meal and many doctors appts, I ended up in the hospital for 2 days since it had taken me 11 days to produce a bowel movement. I was finally told that it sounds like I have IBS-C along with low bowel motility. I am slightly concerned because they put me on a clear-liquid diet and my stomach is still just as distended as it was in the hospital? I am very petite, it looks like I am 6 months pregnant because my stomach is so large. I still have not had a solid bowel movement, just diarrhea (was given 3 laxatives, 2 enemas, and mag citrate).
Is this normal even after 24 hours of no solids? How long does the bloat usually take to go down?
