I just did an inventory of all my meds and supplements and am trying to figure out what is making my intestines slow to a crawl. I chew fiber gummies at night and eat two salads a day and yet.. recent cadence is twice a week if I’m lucky. On Wednesday I got up in the middle of the night - not an ordinary event - and had sweats and nausea and a lot of pain - I wasn’t sure if I was going to throw up, pass out, have a seizure, or what. I finally had ‘success’ and had to change PJ’s because I was sweat-soaked. That felt like a vasovagal episode.

I really want to avoid an actual laxative but I will have to soon.

I had all of this under control- and now I don’t. 🙁

As long as I drink my Metamucil and Miralax, eat lots of veggies and whole grains, drink lots of water, exercise…..I will go okay…sort of odd texture. Jello. Lol

I may just have IBS constipation. I see a visit in my chart to my primary from 2014 where I had chronic diarrhea! Hard to imagine. My mom has the same thing.

I suspect that my constipation could be due to anxiety. Lots on my plate when it started. (Long story.). That’s one reason I’m in therapy and contemplating meds, which I already have a prescription for.

I can relate to the scenario you describe. At times, I’ve envisioned that I could actually die on the toilet. It’s not fun. My brother actually went to the ER once for constipation! He’s never said what they did for him,
