Re: Does anyone else have the constipation-type IBS?       05/06/03 09:48 AM Edit Reply Quote Lisa37 Reged: 02/10/03 Posts: 17 Loc: Trinidad & Tobago Hi, I was just going over all the posts on constipation and came across yours. I used to be D but changed to C about a year ago. Now I live my life according to my bowels. The problem with me is that I cannot function until I "go". I'll go off to work and feel really bad (intense horrible pressure). I mean a person cannot walk around saying I've gotta "go" but I can't. I get desperate enough to just boil some senna pods (or leaves) and drink the liquid. It's more invasive but it works. I think that really invasive constipations medicines damage something in your intestines or something like that?! Not the best method but there's no other way for me to function. Before using senna pods, I would take an enema (horrible experience at first but that too works) and that would work too. I still keep some enemas handy just in case. My hemorroids (sp?) are really bad so I can't stay constipated for longer than a day otherwise I get intense (can't do anything) pain there too. Those are my methods for coping. I wonder if Zelnorm works the way that senna pods do? Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
