Do you still take the Miralax? How long have you been on it and does it help or hurt you more?

I only started the psyllium because so many C people reported such good luck with it producing BMs (which it has helped) and by taking it at night, they said the bloating was only when they slept. So, thought I'd try it. My pain and cramps are all day though...but I'm not even sure if it's from the psyllium or from the other factors I listed above..addition of gluten, reduction of zelnorm...

Why do you take 2 different types of SFS? Do you take powder form of citrucel? How much total SF do you take and what time of day? Are you sure yours isn't hurting you? Have you tried others?

I don't strain on the days I do go..I need to go right then! The spasms are horrid. I took bentyl a while back, but I think antispasmodics just constipate us C folks more.

Dr. Weil is the reason I started taking the Triphala I love that man! But, I'm not sure it helps me any...I've been taking them since January maybe. two in am and two in pm. and I think they are 1000 mg each. I'm just afraid to stop, just in case...

And yes, I have tremendous trouble eating on the days I don't go. I feel full, bloated, sore, and nauseous even sometimes. I force myself to eat because I am already underweight...and some people believe that you must keep eating in order to push the food out. Do you keep eating normal amounts of food when you are constipated real bad? I think it is even harder, though, to eat when I feel cramps, gurgling, unsettled, and yucky.

Yes, Constipation does suck! If you find anything that helps, please let me know! And good luck to us all!
