New to HW and I'd like to find some advices here

Hi everyone,

This is my first post here on HW and I'd like to introduce myself a bit. I'm 22 yrs-old and study in a Canada's University (College equivalent in US) and english isn't my first language so that's why I sometimes make errors typing. 

I've been having problems with my colon for maybe 2 years now and I just can't stand it anymore.  I'm not sure what my disease is but all I know is that the gastroenterologist (sp?) didn't detect any physical problem with it and thats why I'm guessing it would help me more to get infos here.  I also got a diagnose 2 yrs ago saying that I have a part of the colon that sometimes stops working for no reason but they said I shouldn't be too aware of, but now I am.  Oh and maybe I should add that I was and I've been kind of depressed for about 3-4 years now because of a lot of bad stuff is going on these years so for anxiety, I think it's even worst.

So let me describe you my situation:

First of, I have no diarrhea issue, in fact I have issues with constipation.  I can feel it everyday cause I have problems evacuating.  Some of my symptoms are gas, bloating, colon pain, visible round belly, narrow stools, sometimes only mucus and lots and lots of difficulties evacuating.  I always go to the bathroom in the morning right after I wake up cause it seems to be the time when I could evacuate more easily but it doesn't always work.  Physically, i consider myself in a good shape even though i do not exercice everyday but i try keeping myself busy and I eat well, meaning a bit of everything but I just eat too much sometimes, just can't stop food is a life's pleasure :P.  But even when I eat normal size meals, my digestive system seems to stop working and I'll have to find a way to make it comes out.

I tried metamucil before and it didn't work out great.  It seems like fiber isn't a solution to my problem.  Even the solution they make me drink to clear my intestin (when i did tests) only works for the 2-3 first glass of laxative. After that, my intestins seems to shut the way somewhere near the end of the road.  So from my point of view, it seems like when I'm too stress or too anxious about something, my intestin seems to react by shutting the way and thats why i think i get these problems cause it looks like the harder I try pushing, the more I feel my guts shut so nothing will pass through. Anyone experiences this on a daily basic?  I'm living this way for 2 years and just can't stand it anymore..

Well, I'm sorry for this long post cause I know it gets tiring to read so much so I'll stop here, for the moment.  I'd like to receive any kind of feedback about this weither it can help or not.  Thank you for your precious time and precious comments

Hi to you too,
thanks for taking time to read over my post. For now, I'm not using any medication or anything that could "help" my problem cause nothing really helped me since I tried stuff. I once tried for a few weeks drinking prune juice but all it made me was watery stool (if I could even call them stools). It's like if the juice flowed on the sides of the stool and found a way to the exit without helping the actual stool go out. I don't know about aloe vera pills. Probiotics sounds like something that could maybe work, I'll try to find some of that. Do I need any prescription for that? Is it available at the drug store? I'm not taking any vitamins but I do drink milk, eat cheese and I like dairy product in general but never took supplements or vitamins, should I? about the GI, no I just think it was a waste of time to go there, I passed a few tests and all the GI said was that I was fine and everything is okay... Oh and btw, I'm a guy so nop, no problems with birth control :P

Yeah I know dairy products are constipating but thats only in the case where you bowel works slower or something like that right? But in my case, since it seems to be that a part of my intestins aren't working well or it "shuts" the way, it doesn't make that big of a difference for me. Anybody feels the same i do? I mean, harder I push, tighter the colon seem to get closed.
