Similar to my condition, I am experiencing a severe constipation most of the time.
Its been almost 5 years with these condition. These things started to happen when I started living away from my home ( in boarding school). But I wasn't very sensitive to it as we had to do lot of physical moment.
Things become wrost during lockdown. From then on met different doctors but all said it will improve if I will good food, exercise regularly and wont take mental pressure then it will stop happening.
Tried many medication but still constipation is not going,
Any suggestions to improve quality of life.

Hi. Sorry you’re having such a hard time with this. I believe it is absolutely essential that one structure their life to make health #1 priority. I have redundant colon and have suffered with constipation since childhood. I find the following things helpful: drink at least 2 L of water every day. Try to get 25–30 g of fiber in diet every day. Have a hot beverage in the morning. Allow relaxation time in the morning in order to have a bowel movement. I find I need 1 1/2 to 2 hours in the morning. I cannot rush. If I rush, no bowel movement. I have changed my work hours to allow this type of schedule. It’s so important to have time to “rest and digest “. And I have dealt with my anxiety. There is a very strong link between your mental state and gut health. By doing this, I have had an entire year of less pain and more regular bowel movements. This is a condition that will not be ignored so you must make it a priority. Wishing you the best of luck
