Hi Zara,
I'm kind of new to the board and looking over many posts, it seems like I have a lot of the issues with constipation like you do.....never feeling really empty or not being able to go at all.....when this happens, does your rectum really hurt and it is hard to sit...I went to a GI a few years ago because of constipation issues...he did all tests colonoscopy, CT scan, ultra sound, blood but said it was NOT IBS as I was coming out of the fog of colonoscopy. After that initial visit, he left the practice...things went somewhat smooth for about six months and started with problems again...went to another GI...(he gave me 3 minutes of his time and said I had sluggish bowels and touch of IBS and gave me prescription for lax). Now a year later I'm back at it....When I got constipated before I never had this continue pain in the rectum. I never get stomach pain, only rectum pain. Sometimes I have several small bowel movements during the day but it's been a while since I've felt really empty...I do have an appt with a colon/rectal doc in a couple of weeks...also,,,,,,how do you get through the days without getting crabby...if you are also experiencing this, how do you manage to sleep??? Thanks for reading this.
Sharon
