Fiber and more fiber, decrease my stress, get my depression under control (hard to do when you have bowel and bladder inconsistence) and have a med review done - then try to have another colonoscopy (after a multiple day prep) completed. Fiber makes me feel like I’m dying and always has - as a baby my pediatrician told my mom to mix prune and orange juice to get my bowels to move because I was always constipated. If I don’t take stool softeners or use laxatives daily during a constipation flare I can go a month without a BM but I can also have flares where I have diarrhea for months. The last 16 years have a nightmare and I know that I’m a burden now because I’m not able to work some days and knowing things will only get worse from this point is crushing. I’ve had to become my own advocate because the Drs has my family convinced it was all in my head until a few weeks ago when they couldn’t complete the colonoscopy. But that doesn’t help me - they are still playing the “wait and see” and “eat more fiber” games.
