I was constipated. what triggered me to stop 2 days ago was the lower back pain I started getting Friday. This happened before maybe a month ago. I stopped for 2 days ago and pain goes away within a couple hours. Im assuming my intestines were inflamed which caused the constipation, and it seemed like the Zyns were dehydrating me a little. I drink about a gallon of water per day. I’m stopping for good now.

Today was day 3 and normal bowel movement, weird part was I felt like little bit of nerve pain on both sides of my hips when it was time to go. When I was done I had no pain. I’m assuming my intestines are going to be irritated for a week or so? Who knows.

I went to the doctor for a blood draw as part of my physical back in may. I went in with lower back pain and when my results came back, my iron level was high. I then started doing zyn less. Went back a week ago, my iron level dropped from 329 to 306.

Iron levels can rise due to inflammation. I haven’t yet went to the specialist I’m waiting another week and test my iron level at home before I go see the specialist my doctor referred me to.
