 Here's a roll of rant for you. I've been constipated since December 17th, and before that I had 3 regular days and I had been constipated since before thanksgiving. My appointment with the specialist isn't until Jan 5th and I'm ready for desparate measures. Tell me what to do and I'll do it. What's more, please tell me what to do. I really don't know what is wrong with my body. I have been a non-soda drinker since high-school and I am now in my junior year of college. I have always eaten minimal meat and white meat at that. I'm healthy and active. I've been off dairy, drinking lots of tea, taking benefiber, and basically doing what I think is right for my condition for over a month. More recently, I've been taking probiotics, plenty of water, prune juice and metamucil every morning, leafy vegetables...you name it - I do it. I've also been vegan for over a month, and since soy products give me gas I decided my being vegan is on hold until I can be stable. I'm having egg whites now, and I had a turkey sandwhich last night and today for lunch (I hate meat, but I think I need protein from somewhere while I'm easing into soy). I have several small (but not too small), simple meals throughout the day that include both soluble and insoluble fiber, but frankly I would just like to stop eating because I feel that none of it is ever going to make its way out of my body anyway. Well, I know better, but PLEASE help me. I don't think I can take much more of this. I just want to do something NOW. Would someone please give me some advice so I can have some relief? I can be more specific if that helps, and I can answer questions if you have them. I've read Heather's books as well as others, done my own research up the wazoo, and I'm fed up. I'm beyond the point where patience is a virtue. I need to poop and that's the bottom line. It's the biggest mystery of my life. I've always had the IBS symptoms, but now it's as though my body just stopped functioning. It's stopped responding to everything it should respond to. I guess it seems I'm begging for sympathy, but I'd much rather poop than have sympathy! So help! And thanks for lending me your attention!
