Good advisor

Hello all,

This is a bit of a tough question to ask on the internet, but I have been feeling very constipated over the past few months. Initially I thot it was because of my diet, which I changed to include a lot more fibres and avoid fatty freid foods, but even after 1 month of controlling it, I am not able to 'go' properly. It hurts while passing too. Anyone else facing similar problems? I am going to go to a doctor very soon, because it feels so unpleasant.

Hi @idontdrink

How are you today?

I am sorry to hear you having troubles with your digestion and being 'regular.' Thank you for feeling safe to share on Carenity, I am sure others have had similar experiences. Let me tag a few members who may be able to offer some advice or who might be able to share some of their stories.

Do you ever experience constipation due to your condition? What do you do to regulate? Do you take any medication?

Take care everyone,

Good morning!

Try metamucil gummies, sugar free. I also take Senekot at night. Totally helps. I let mine go too long and ended up with bad hemroids and an emergency hemroidectomy. Not a fun recovery. Good luck!!!
