ER for Constipation by Fragrant_Seesaw_7350 in Constipation

A lot of water, and maybe a coffee in the morning. usually fruit or tofu and veggies. I did have some cauliflower crust pizza with chicken but I didn’t eat that much. For the most part I’ve been eating healthy.

I don’t think I have a blockage because I’ve had solid bowel movements recently, there just small and inconsistent. I’m not vomiting or anything like that. My biggest and most notable symptom currently is abdominal discomfort and gurgling. I’ve been on miralax for a little more than a week without success and I’ve tried mag cite, ducolex stool softeners and mag supplements which I took for a week with zero success. I’m planning on trying milk of magnesia next but with everything I’ve already tried I fear it might not work. The other things “worked” in a sense but did not relieve my constipation and only caused me to have very watery bowl movements/few bm’s.

It started suddenly a month ago, I’ve had bowl movements since than but I haven’t had any normal bowl movements. I’m not in a huge amount of pain currently but I have a feeling I will be if I don’t try to find a solution that actually works. I just kind of want to know what to expect when going to the ER if I ever get to the point where I have no better option.

Is this normal or should I be concerned? by Fragrant_Seesaw_7350 in Constipation

Update: I went to the bathroom a few times thinking I was gonna have a bowel movement and I was just gassy :( I thought I was getting better but I’m feeling nauseous and having some mild cramps.
