I can relate to what you describe. All I can say is to try to find answers. I have tried for a couple of years. I’m fortunate that a couple of months ago the constipation subsided and right now I’m doing well. I was able to stop taking Miralax which I had taken for months. Miralax or Milk of Magnesia are the only thing that worked for me, though my doctors discouraged the Milk of Magnesia.

My constipation struck suddenly out of nowhere. When people would suggest eating things like prunes, apples, etc., I appreciated it, but foods did nothing to make me go. My constipation laughed at high fiber foods. My problem was much more than the wrong diet. I tried prescription meds twice that barely worked for about 2 days. I still have one test pending for SIBO. We’ll see what that says.

I’m hoping my condition continues to improve, but it’s uncertain. I do believe that a gastroenterologist will be able to get you going with some type of substance. After not going for a week, my brother went to the ER. They did something that helped, but I don’t know what it was. I think an enema. Good luck. This is a terrible situation to be in,
