I have had IBS for so long I have lost all perception about what is normal involving bowel movements. When someones asks me what my symptons are I don't know how to descibe them. What is it when you have to force with all your might to go, but it is not constipated consistency. What do you call bowel movements that are not hard in any way, they are soft small ribbon like almost shapeless towards the end, but you have to go over and over again until you can be done, as it goes on they becomes less shaped. But what if it takes such force to get it out that when it finally comes it kind of explodes out and this goes on for a couple hours each morning. But if I didn't force with extremes, I could never be finished and my stomach would continue to bloat further and expand and rumble and hurt and get gradually worse as the day went on. But in doing this in the bathroom and forcing to the point that I have developed hems with occastional bleeding. Do I need a stool sofener, NO, do I need fiber, NO I have tried many, and it either makes it worse or no better at all. Cereal makes me gas and [censored] my brains out even it I have to force it out. What if mixed with the million small pieces in the toilet the rest of it came out like a spray paint can on the toilet. This sounds graphic, but how the hell can I explain this to a doctor. The forcing to me seems to be because of gas that is stopping the movements from coming out. So do I classify myself as D with needed force? I take lomotil and librax to stop the frequent movements that I have to force out of me. Doesn't that seem a contradiction? The acacia made me [censored] my brains out for hours at the smallest dose and I tried it two times. Tried other fiber to, but they do not cause any harmony or a solid movement with any kind of normal shape like you hear people talk about. Bread and carbs cause me to bloat and have extreme gas, I drink Pep tea everyday and tried the pep caps but they do nothing. I bloat so bad that i roll around in pain. Lactose test showed negative but gave me D the whole length of test. No celiac, no food allergies, but everything I eat causes symptoms, even toast gives me gas. I dont care that much about gas except it won't come out and I have severe illness from that alone. When I tried just eating white rice with carrots, that is what comes out in the toilet. Everything I eat you can identify in the bowl. Even if I eat candy when I go the color of the candy colors the bowel movement. Especially Blue. One day I thought I was bleeding in my bowels but realized it was the licorice peices all floating around that I ate the night before. I can't find a balance, immodium just prolongs the inevitable, fiber creates a major cotastophy in my intestines. What else other than a bullet to end the misery?
