Can Frequent Enema Use Lead To Getting Hooked On Enemas?
I've had chronic constipation since age 14,doctors back then told my mom to give me Fleet enema if I didn't have a BM by day 3 ,well I wound up having to get enemas from my mom (an exn LVN),almost every week till now(I'm in 50s)..
I just read that too frequent of enemas can cause dependence on enemas anyone else know?
Yes getting weekly enemas has made it impossible for me to go potty without them still
Whats The Best Meds For Constitpation
I use miralax in my morning coffee and drink pasturized apple cider at night
When I Was Diagnosed With IBS-C, The Doctor Told Me To Take A Probiotic And Miralax Every Day. Does Anyone Else Use Miralax Daily? Thanks
I have not heard of it but I hope it works for you. I use miralax in the morning and drink apple cider at night to help with constipation. Its so frustrating dealing with constipation!
I Recently Started Colestipol. I Feel Like I Am Having The Opposite Problem. Instead Of Upset Stomachs 3/4 Times A Day, I Can’t Go At All.
Dx IBS-D but have had weeks that I am constipated and then diarrhea for days. I can have weeks of normal GI going-ons as well.

Any information/testimonies would be great
I have pain pretty well everyday but when it is really bad I have to stay in bed.
Dulcolax
Can it safely be used twice a week
I have used prune juice and it does work, but now I use Miralax and it has helped me so far. I also take Fibercon and 3 stool softners at night. So far it has worked.
What Helps You With Constipation.
I use Miralax every night sometimes twice a day, and it has saved me! What helps you with constipation?
I do two things, Natural Calm (magnesium citrate) taken twice daily. Then I have been trying a new fiber called Pinch Magic fiber.. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, that is imperative!
What To Do Next??
I am at a bit of a loss here. I have been on this "investigation" of why my stomach sucks for the last 2 years but have suffered silently for the last 15 years.
I have had an endoscopy done a year and a half ago. This revealed a hernia in my stomach. There was not much mentioned to me about this, if it was of any cause for concern or how to manage any symptoms that I am having that could be related to it.
