Problem with Chronic constipation

It is so frustrating. It’s also difficult because I’m always having to cancel plans with friends or trips my husband and I want to go on. We just cancelled our third attempt to go to Florida this year. And what do you say to people? They really don’t want to hear about the fact that your colon doesn’t function properly.

I so feel your pain and frustration. I have redundant tortuous colon, constipated all my life (74) now. I used to go almost daily, but hard and small. Recent colonoscopy only showed some thickening of Sigmoid colon wall ( muscular hypertrophy) I've done all the 64 oz of water, fiber, exercise, Miralax 4 x's a week . It's a balancing act to not get cramping and diarrhea. I too have had to cancel trips, and live alone and it's affecting my social life, and mental health. And yes, people don't understand , nor do they want to hear about it. Best to you! Bobbie
