HI ALL- I am fairly new to this board..anyway just wanted to vent with people who may understand...I am only 34...This started with me aabout 6 months ago ( WHY ME? I DONT KNOW) All i can figure is I was under an extreme amount of stress...I have had this horrible constipation for 6 months!!!!I never had a problem before and it is totally interrupting my life and sense of well being.. It is such a horrible feeling to not go for sometimes 5 days..my belly feels so big and it is painful ...Noone really understands...my friends are supportive but kind of laugh it off ( oh u are still constipated?? HAHA) but it is completely not funny and the worst thing I have ever experienced.. I try to really say..well there are many people who have it much worse than me ..but when your body is not eliminating properly it just affects my whole well being...I have even recently started an antidepressant because I was at the point where...." IF THIS IS HOW LIFE IS GOING TO BE...is it really worth it? I have been for xrays, CAT scans and upper and lower endoscopy and All they can find is a hiatus hernia and that " I am full of stool" EVeryone says more fiber and more water but that doesnt work for me...Heathers guidelines have helped some...but I just want to feel normal...any thoughts or suggestions??Also-- does anyone's constipation get worse just before their period too>?? and does anyone else feel like they have a sense of "BLOCKAGE" in their bowel..I feel like ..its not even straining its just like the food doesnt seem to move through my system..Anyway thanks for listening>>>>>God bless u all !
