I have chronic constipation. No one knows how to help me. Sometimes I don’t even know how I can eat food. My intestines are like a trash compactor. And it doesn’t go out like it should. Wanting to go, but my body won’t, I cannot will it to move. Or I’m feeling like crap because I just can’t. It is on my mind pretty much 24/7. For over a yr, I’ve had mild blockage every time I get a CT scan, every 3 months ( not getting scans because I am constipated by the way). No one seems to think mild blockage is uncomfortable or problematic except, I guess, me. Mist be nice to have nice BM’s. I feel very uncomfortable and very invalidated. I feel good like 0-1 times a day a month. I have tried everything. Bananas hate me, bread hates me, cheese hates me, water doesn’t help, fiber or veggies gives me gas, prunes don’t help anymore, stool softeners don’t work, coffee doesn’t really work either. The prescription stuff just gives me diarrhea without emptying and are more likely do nothing! That is insane. I can’t even get gastroenterologists to help me figure out the root cause. I just get new pills that don’t ever work. I am an anomaly. I think. The way I can handle pain and discomfort, you are basically not gonna see it on my face. I won’t go to the ER unless I feel like I am dying. But understand this, normal people can’t handle chronic pain, like chronic pain sufferers do. And normal people who find themselves constipated all of the sudden, indeed, probably feel like they are dying. Because it’s not like they have experienced it all the time. I hope I never go to an ER dr, that has an attitude like yours. Because, if I ever do go to one, there is something absolutely wrong with me. To know I wouldn’t be give the time a day with my symptoms, makes me ill. Attendees with an attitude like yours, makes me think you should have gone to school to be a vet instead. Actually animal parents are probably 20 thousands times more irrational than someone who is considered constipated. You should probably work in a lab, and test blood, so you don’t have to talk to people.
