LC, Autonomic Dysfunction, and "Bowel Blockage"

Sorry about your blockage. My GI issues have not caused a blockage, thank goodness, but it's still a constant problem. I have rocks - voiding them is a painful strain or the elimination comes without warning; or mud-like stools to the point of having to use Imodium; or constipation and bloating. I was just diagnosed with borderline POTS and the medicine prescribed is Pyridostigmine. It's been a miracle for me after 3+ years with Long Covid. All my COVID symptoms are gone except, the GI problems. I was very constipated last night and took a Children's Fiber Gummy before bed - better this morning. Stronger laxatives cause the opposite problem. I've tried everything!! I eat lots of fiber and drink lots of water. If you find a cure, please publish it. Thanks and good luck.

I can so identify with your gut situation....voiding is difficult and the stools are typically like rocks so getting a "balance" is very tricky to next to impossible. I take a prebiotic, digestive enzyme and probiotic. This all helps keep "comfort" in the gut but doesn't do anything for voiding the rocks, as you say. I use Musinex off and on, hydrate well, eat in order to NOT be constipated but never fully get the results one would expect. It's very frustrating and now I wonder if this is going to be a forever situation.
