Pain every time I have bm
Posted , 5 users are following.
I am either constipated or going to the bathroom 5-6 times in a row with pain. I have been diagnosed with diverticulitis. Last dr. I went to prescribed lactulose to help with hard stools. That resulted in 2 days worth of going & going. Has anyone else experienced this reaction to medicinr??

Maybe you could give fibogel a go or try an antispasmodic like buscopan?

I also had constipation, fybogel didn't seem to have the desired effect, so GP gave lactulose, I had terrific pains after taking a couple of doses, had to stop taking it.The GP couldn't understand why this happened, I could only think it was because I have extensive diverticulosis, which I understand to be diverticula on left and right of colon. I know other people take lactulose without any problem.

I'm so sorry you're in this "club" ... it's quite a difficult disease to figure out. I'm mostly constipated. When I have taken a "stool softener" ... yes, I get the reverse also - like when I had IBS.
I was diagnosed July 2017 - I've found it to be a guessing game w/ what you can eat and what bothers you.
Hugs,
Kerry
