Problem with Chronic constipation
Digestive Health | Last Active: Sep 8 9:41am | Replies (802)Comment receiving replies
For the past year or so my rib cage area is like really painful the other day I had a small backache that radiated around to the front and I went to ER and they discovered which I have had problems before that I had backed up constipation so I have been taking MiraLAX Fiber supplement magnesium citrate stool softener, and I still have not evacuated like I should have a gastrologist a new one in a month. I hope I don’t explode before the month is over. Any suggestions out there?

I tried many many laxatives. I had a colonoscopy to make sure nothing was blocking my colon (that was unpleasant.) I took Miralax and it gave me incontinence of stool. The NP sorta gave up on me saying: I don't know what else to try with you. I stopped my headache meds thinking it was slowing down my stool. THEN: I made an appointment with my doctor and saw her assistant first. She said she made sure to take her thyroid med every morning before eating with a glass of water. BINGO. That was not my usual procedure. I just swallowed all the AM pills together before or after eating. Never thought it could matter. IT DOES. Now I take the thyroid pill every AM before any food. Am super happy I no longer have constipation.
