Hi Everyne....I'm new to this website although I've been having issues with IBS-C for about 4 years...have had colonoscopy, 2(CT scans), blood work, ultrasound, tyroid test..everything negative. I eat really healthy, workout or walk almost every day. Last 18 months have had more problems than ever....TONS of gas (but I do eat lots of beans and veggies). Just always assumed that these things are good for constipation. Here is my latest dilema that I can't figure out. I was having 2-4 good BM every morning between approx 5:00AM and 6:30. Sometimes even after that I feel like I have to have another BM or else later in the day or evening I feel like I am going to have a huge BM and nothing will move. I then use a suppossitory and usually get things going. How can things change that quickly in one day??? I've had as many as 6 BM in a day, but never diahrea. Now today I am constipated with no good BM? I have always taken some fiber supplement and have been using Citrucel for the past month. I drink 90 oz of water a day. Has anyone ever had that where things are moving and you need to go and then sit on the toilet and nothing!!! Along with having hugh amounts of gas (usually only in the evening), my stomach is always moving around and making noises. I have used laxatives, Milk of Mag and enemas to get me through the real bad moments. I really want to stop all the laxative stuff, but I get so uncomfortable I can't stand it!! How do you all get through it or how do you sleep at night with so much discomfort? Did any of you ever get depressed and feel like this is never going to end. I did order Heather's book and have been reading her info on this website. The things I am blessed with is that I have a very wonderful, understanding husband and relatively no stress other than dealing with the IBS issues. Any words of encuragement/advice would be really appreciated...
