Hi guys. Bit of a tricky one. I was diagnosed with IBS-C a few years back as a teen and it was relatively manageable. The last few months however have been AWFUL. Not going for almost a week and then I end up having to take laxatives.
However, I’ve realised now I can’t go at all without a laxative. I have no urge to go, no griping pains, I can’t even get anything to happen why I try to have a movement.
However if I don’t take a laxative I just won’t go at all and I end up in awful pain and can’t leave the toilet at work which is embarrassing.
Any tips or guidance? It’s making my life hell and I’m terrified I’ve made my bowel lazy since I have no urge anymore.
