I’ve had issues my entire life,

Hi there, welcome to HELL of CIC. It's especially aggravating when even your GI doesn't know, for example, that ANS-autonomic nervous system has a HUGE impact on CIC. I'm keeping my comments on the short side. Tried every script, OTC, food, etc...all failed. 17 years of failure. In last 3 years it's gotten worse. 3 partial small bowel obstructions, 2 cleared by eating almost zero solid foods, used meal replacement shakes, and tons of all fluids (I have always been a huge water drinker), 1 SBO 3 days in hospital via ER, ng tube, OMG, it hurt. Three blocks in my anus that required digital removal, by my fingers, OMG these hurt too. I hope you have never had to dig 💩enough holes to release an avalanche of 💩💩. I use miralax 3-6 caps per day to keep my bowels in a liquid/sediment state. My GI simply ghosted me. My Hyperparathyroidism was found accidentally. My main reason for replying is, consider having your PTH, calcium and vitamin D tested. Do NOT start any supplements, if you choose to pursue Hyperparathyroidism. That will skew your results. Look it up online, see if you have a lot of the symptoms (which are also common in many other diseases). Elevated calcium can wreak havoc on your body and you don't even know it. Good luck. I know this is not the answer for all CIC, but it WILL NOT be brought up by any dr., it's up to you to get enlightened. Shelley

Well,
I am waiting for the probiotics I ordered from Dr Berg---Pehaps a miricle will occur and would'nt that be nice

My whole life…Linzess not working Lactulose not working miralax not working. I’m so tired of taking something every single day. Bowel is sluggish til I have to take a stimulant to move things along. First bet rich foods don’t help either. Help
