Constipation: What helps you?

For the past 10 years, I have had severe constipation problems. I tried many medicines, and I have gone through 3 times endoscopy but discovered nothing. From 2015 till now my constipation problem couldn't be solved. To make it worse now I'm having multiple internal haemorrhoids due to this constipation. I don't know why I'm having this constipation problem.Many people suggested many things like changing diets, taking a lot of fibre intake, reducing stress, quit smoking. I burp a lot and do have acid reflux as well but now it is getting better. What is the best solution for my constipation?

Hi 💩🤢👋geekgir19 hi thanks for telling me about the no 1s I b o test no my doctor is never mentioned that test next time I talk to my GI doctor or even my primary I'll mentioned that test I looked it up and that's a good idea thank you for telling me about it 👍😀.Have you a XRDEFECOGRAM test .I have motlitydisorder in my the throat and I have a pendulums stomach lower Left side 🤨. I guess that's how God made me 😬😀😇. I heard probiotics might work for that n o i s i b o you could try probiotics many years ago a doctor told me to get a probiotic and it was in the refrigerator department and at the time I needed to get a prescription and get them from the pharmacy and they weren't prescribed the pharmacy had them at the time and it was a prescription with my doctor ordered for me but the insurance didn't cover it. Feels like over the counter but it was at the pharmacy but insurance didn't cover it. You might ask if you could get a probiotic that needs to be uncovered I was 20 at the time I'm 35 now so it might be different. 🤨🧐 Prayers and best of luck I know they still look to both of us God bless you 😇😇🙏🙏🙏

Thanks. Prayers going up for you, too. Slow motility is hard. No, I haven't had an XR defecogram. Maybe eventually I will, I just hesitate to resort to the more grueling tests like that. But I did have an ARM test a couple years ago and results were mostly normal. The problem seems to be that the stool never makes it to my rectum in the first place. I have to warn you, probiotics can actually make SIBO worse. They promote the growth of good bacteria, but in SIBO, you actually have too much good bacteria. Weird, I know. I seem to have gotten this problem mainly from eating way too many blueberries. Oh, by the way, I heard that if you have acne, that can be another sign that you might have SIBO. My skin used to be really clear but for the past few years it's been a mess, and I'm wondering if that's why. And yeah, I have wondered if I have a prolapse; I should get that checked out.

No you do not need to stop your miralax 👍to get your prolapsed stop eating the night before and called he's on early in the morning to do this test where you drink . You drink a white thing it looks tastes like bingo like 16 or 20 oz of the I need to drink it with in 15 minutes yum . They do an x-ray before you drink it and then they do one and they do a couple of x-rays then they said you on a big commode and then they put a syringe. in your rear end and fill it up and it feels like with this stuff. you are covered up with a gallon and they give you a blanket to sit and then you sit on a like a commode and then they watch you go to the bathroom as you go to the bathroom they click the machine and watch you go poop it mimics poop as they take X-rays have fun. no it was the most embarrassing thing for me it was embarrassing to watch them watch me go to the toilet. oh well it was no big deal for them they said they did it every day did for a day 5 days a week. and it checks if your poop's getting sick in the rear end or if there's a prolapse and what's going on or if the muscles are squeezing are not in the in the rectum or what's going on. 🥵 Hey at least it's painless and you don't need to go to sleep for it and you can walk out after you get done 😀. If you do it then left and yeah I told you what there is so hopefully there's no surprises.

Can my gallbladder cause me to have belching, feeling like something is stuck in my throat,and food can't go down not even water. Please help no doctor can help me I feel like dying.

Oh wow. Hmm I just did some research and turns out gallbladder problems can cause belching. And I heard of someone once who couldn't swallow and what she did for it was she had some kind of a thing done I think they call balloon dilation, where they blew up a little balloon inside the throat to open it back up because it was shrunk down really small. Maybe that would help. Have you tried that? I'll pray for you. Bing Chat came up with multiple reasons that might cause food and water not to go down: GERD or achalasia (in GERD the LES muscle in the esophagus is too loose and in achalasia it doesn't open which sounds scary but there are things they can do to help), strictures or narrowing in the throat, hiatal hernia, or weak peristalsis. Don't know what you've already investigated but hopefully this gives you more stuff to look into; remember there is some reason why you're having this and the doctors just haven't found it yet. You're one answer away from beating this. I'll pray for you.
