IBS-C
I take a generic Metamucil in capsule form daily. You would think it and a relatively high fiber diet would be the key to my constipation. But no! I go 3-4 days w/o a BM, then wham! I have a huge one, perhaps preceded by a "piecemeal" one in the 3 days before. The big one is painful and sometimes accompanied by vomiting or retching. Stress affects me mightily, but I have not identified specific foods that are triggers. I just wish I could even things out.
So sorry you are going through this. I can relate. I had similar issues. Have you tried a probiotic? That helped me greatly. Also diet change. No processed foods. Organic protein and fruits and veggies. Keep a food journal to see if you can notice patterns with constipation and foods. Mostly though, a probiotic daily with diet change is what helped me. -Elizabeth (team member)
Thanks for the suggestions. I don't eat processed foods as I have to restrict my sodium content. I have used probiotics before but saw no difference. Perhaps I need to use tgem for a longer period of time.
