What Are My Triggers?

I've had this for several years now, I'm not as bad as others. Mostly I'm constipated, and my pain meds don't help. Sometimes, I can go a month without having a flair, but I'm always dealing with constipation.

Unpredictably of flares

I've never known what triggers mine; when this first started, I thought it was something I ate because it started after I ate. I learned it wasn't. Now, I have flares first thing in the morning even before I have eaten a thing. I've had to reschedule Drs appts and hair appts because I was stuck in the bathroom for hours, with cramps on steroids.

Then I am right back with constipation again. I have to do something, usually prune juice and Miralax, because everything else makes me sick. My pain management dr gave me something for constipation, caused by pain meds, but I'm afraid to take it because all the others made me sick.

Wash rinse repeat

Mostly, I still eat what I want, except days when I flair. This week I've had two flairs in one week. But guess what, y'all know, I'm constipated again; it's like wash rinse repeat.

I have IBS with constipation, so unlike most of y'all I don't have diarrhea all the time I have both. I know mine is not as bad, as others but no IBS is good.

This is my story.
