Constipation & Pain. Can't get a handle on it :(
Posted , 7 users are following.
I'm getting a stool analysis done but in the meantime...
I feel relatively ok in the morns but as the day progresses I start getting bloated and need to poop but can't, accompanying the bloating is colicky gas pains ALL AROUND my digestive track. Like up high then moved down low. It's not constant but off and on and gets to the worst by/after dinner. I FEEL like the trapped poop is irritating my colon.. That or because I'm really skinny anyway maybe the excess gas is stretching out my insides?
Is it just me?
I'd ask in gastro section but I KNOW the bloating that progresses as the day goes on is a hormonal woman issue as well

yes it's five in the morning and the laxatives have just kicked in so I'm up now, better than rushing back and forth.
Re the butt check, actually yes, or my bicep or anywhere on my body, just a sharp little pain soon followed by a pocket of gas. It's referred gas pain.
Im reading a fascinating book named gut bliss, aLL about gut issues constipation bloat.
Im only part way through but hope itl offer some solutions.
Fyi undiagnosed thyroid disorders cause slow motility and bloat constipation and that the "lab" values have a weird range where you can be diagnosed as normal but still be running an under active thyroid. I actually saw this on Oprah and read it before, so if you have thyroid type related Symptons it's worth getting checked out. Because thyroid has a major impact on your hormones.
Il be looking it for sure

if you could private message me the name of a good colon cleanse I'd love that. I'm seriously considering doing home enemas...
I used to poop soo regularly to the point I SWEAR my body would have gotten rid of any/all waste in my system, like 4 times a morning no lie and I was perfectly happy/healthy slim for thirty something years, it's just been progressively getting slower from my mid thirties, I can't eliminate it all out like I used too. While I'm not loosing weight I'm. Not actually gaining either which I expected I would... But yeh man ALIVE do I need a good cleanse. Even the laxatives arent really working today

I've had this for years now and had to resort to laxatives for it.
It is meno related because estrogen has made mine somewhat better.
I found syrup of figs to be a nice gentle help with it. Others can take you to the other extreme.
Also magnesium at a bit higher dose than recommended does the trick gently as well and now I'm managing with 1 and a half doses of that.

I went completely wheat free for about a year.
Felt great went out to eat and had a wheat blow out suffered badly for 3 days after couldn't go and felt like I needed to all the time and stomach so painful.
I've found bread to be the worst culprit for the pain so now I have it very rarely and it's ok but 2 or 3 days in succession and 2 or 3 days to get over it.
I also found that if laxatives work too well and give me diahorea that can be painful as well as I am waiting for the next bm and sometimes takes a few days to sort itself out again.
That's why I like syrup of figs.
It's not fast acting so you don't need to run to the loo urgently and only seems to soften them so you are not caught up in extremes.

Don't put aspartame in though it's a neuro toxin (excitotoxin) it over stimulates neuron receptors and will make your poor meno head feel 10 times worse.
Try stevia if you can get it or honey
