Thank you for your responses. Yes, if we are counting number of BMs per day, I would be considered D, however, it's hard for me to wrap my head around being D as when I am in a bad time as I am currently, the BMs are smaller and I can still feel more poop inside me but just won't come out. and my stool is not watery. The strange thing with me is I never bloat nor do I have a lot of gas. I just feel backed up. I always eat very, very healthy, however, do know that if I eat broccoli or steamed cabbage I may end up in big trouble. I was doing really good for a while and having large well-formed BMs when I took a dose of Citrucel in afernoon and a dose of psyllim husk in the PM. Not sure what happened, but something tripped me up and I changed that up for a while. I don't use laxatives except an occasional dose of MOM, which does a pretty good job of cleaning me out. I have been absolutely miserable the last week. Didn't sleep much due to feeling so backed up so at 3:30AM made some lemon water..sipped for about an hour, then a couple T. of blackstrap molasses and shortly thereafter had a decent BM. Had breakfast about 7:30 then another BM, but I new I still felt so full of it I could not function. I ended up taking an enema (not the fleet, the old fashioned way with the bag) 'cuz I just couldn't stand it any more.....I just wanted to get myself cleansed. Sorry to go on and on, but I am just exhausted from dealing with this. I get so sick I get headaches and dry heaves. The enema doesn't make me feel great, but at least I can function. I am going to post my diet and if you could look it over with any suggestions???
Also, on a good day this is how my body works: bowels wake me up around 5:00 AM. They actually will not move until I drink some hot tea or lemon water... within an hour, a good BM. I then dose off until around 7:30 AM and bowels start working again so I have breakfast and then another BM maybe within 1/2 hour.
So here is my usual diet:
Breakfast:
Oatmeal with blueberries and almond milk and about 1/3 cup of Coffee (I know that is a no-no, but went for months without coffee and no difference)
Mid-morning - apple
Lunch
1. Hummus on Ezekiel bread with fresh zucchini slices and a tablespoon sauerkraut (the sauerkraut I eat is made by someone who does not process it, so I get all the digestive enzymes from it) I am all right with a little sauerkraut, but not cooked cabbage.
2. home-made veggie soup
mid-afternoon
grapes or pineapple and carrots
dinner
1. some sort of protein and veggies, small potato or pasta
2. veggie burritos using whole wheat tortillas
3. romaine lettuce or spinach mixed with some sort of bean, peas, carrots, and whatever veggies I have in house
I rarely eat red meat, occasionally have a small amount of Stoneyfield plain yogurt, occasionally have a glass of wine, occasional piece of Edam or Gouda cheese. The only thing I really snack on are pretzels and sometimes I will dip them in refried beans for the protein.
So that is my basic diet and I eat almost the same thing every day. Once again, sorry for going on and on, but I'm just not sure where to turn any more. I plan on doing another round of hypno in six weeks, and am hoping for better results. This last week I have been almost totally debilitated. I try to get in at least a short walk or bike ride and do a few things around the house, in an attempt to at least try to keep things moving. I am not one of these people who can go for even two days without pooping. I get unbelievably sick and experience pain all over in my body. I also get very scared when I'm in one of these bad episodes, especially since I know the medical community is absolutely at a loss at to what to do with a person like me.
Thanks for taking the time to read and I welcome any help at all.
