I Currently Have Chronic Constipation Any Suggestions?

[Road Runner]

Well I went to the doctor today. He told me that since my lab work looks good that he suggested to put me on Metamucil since I'm still not able to empty myself completely . If that doesn't work and I'm still having issues then I'll get a colonoscopy next month.

Is it really that bad or are you just being a goofball?

Well the Metamucil seems to be working as I'm completely flushed out now.

My father was fully awake during the process. And that was five years before he died.

I read about that. Considered it, as you can just leave the table and go back to your life. But they said they're more painful for smaller people, so no.

However, they give a different anesthesia now and I like it better. Go out, don't feel anything, but also, I'm not completely groggy for the rest of the day.

I have IBD so I have experience with this, sadly

Hmm.. interesting.





Hopefully my thread wasn't as it's more about trying to get the right diet than the poop.

Fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Lose the dead animals

1. I already got over my problem.
2. No. Especially since tomorrow is Thanksgiving.

Lose the dead animals

More vegan antics.

Nuts and seeds are hard to digest.
Klingons eat their animals alive.

People say stupid things that can get them banned.

Why he's not banned permanently already is WAY beyond the realm of my understanding.

And? You hate half of America.

Only the evil communists like you.

Stop watching scary movies! It may gives you the poopsies!

And whatever you do, DON'T LOOK UNDER YOUR BED.

I'm currently eating prunes daily and drinking two to three full glasses of water and a lot of fiber vitamins and I'm still pooping anywhere from three to six times a day and not being able to empty myself fully. Does anybody have any suggestions of how to change my diet because this has been going on for weeks now. I see my doctor on November 18th for my annual checkup, but any suggestions before then would be highly appreciated.

I have actually the opposite problem.... I go a little too much during the day. My doctor gave me pills to bind me up so I am not having to go all the time. I honestly can't remember the last time I was constipated.... what decades ago. happened maybe once or twice in my lifetime it seems.

Ever since I was a little kid I always ate lots of fiber in my diet just because I always had a habit of eating tons of fruits, beans and breads. I did this not for health reasons though, we tend to over eat on the foods we love to eat and those were the foods I tended to love to eat all day long. They were the foods I craved and loved the taste of.
