Clindamycin causing constipation, just me?

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,

This time llast year I had just been diagnosed with microscopic colitis after 7 months of don’t-leave-the-house kind of diarrhea, complete with C-Diff. It was awesome to take a steroid treatment that absolutely cured me by end of January. Life was great for four short months.
Then I had lung surgery to remove a tumor and they got me so constipated with narcotics after surgery nothing has been quite right since from a GI stance.
I love my GI doc - A PA actually but incredibly good. So we will work this out I’m sure.
