Hello everyone smile I am new and very happy to find this forum. I am a 29 years old woman with diabetes type 1.I have been severely constipated the last 2 years.The first time I went to the doctor he told me to eat more fibers,drink lots of water,exercise and put me on Laxido. My weight is 52 kg I exercise 4 times a week, eat lots of vegetables and fruits,drink plenty of fluids and not eating meat at all. Nothing of the above works! Laxido seemed to work in the beginning but then it stopped. Then I was on and off with Dulcolax. The last year has been even worse. I cannot go to the toilet without laxative. I was so desperate that I ended up taking 2 Dulcolax pills almost every day. As a result I ended up drained and weak,and lost 3 kilos (I was 55kg before dulcolax). I stopped Dulcolax and tried senna which works most of the times,there are times that senna doesn't work. I asked my gastroenterologist for colonoscopy and he said that I don't need it. I feel very stressed and scared of having bowel cancer. The last days my stomach has been upset,indigestion,feeling full after eating a little bit of food,loss of apetite but in the same time very sad and stressed..Could it be cancer? I don't have any other symptoms, only extreme constipation, no blood as far as I know.. I don't have quality of life anymore..My life revolves around laxatives,planning everything around them.There are moments I end up crying without stoping,I feel I can't do it anymore..  sad
