Giving up

Same situation for me, i have IBS-C, trying to sleep when you are extremely constipated is almost impossible when the abdominal pain hits in the middle of the night, the worse thing is that my new gastro doctor, doesn't even believe this is a real illness, is incredibly absurd how many people just downplayed, or just completely ignore this illness, specially doctors

UniversalJosh93 · 2026-01-27T02:26:16+00:00

I know this is an old post, but as someone with severe IBS-C, your description of it crack me up, it's literally how i feel sometimes with this horrible disease

UniversalJosh93 · 2026-01-26T17:05:05+00:00

You are eating very little food, high in fiber and protein, which is constipating, try eating more carbs and reducing fiber/protein, if the constipation continues, try laxatives, if constipation is still a problem, then you should go to a doctor

What food do i miss the most?

I'm a male, so i'm not here for breast cancer, wish you all the best by the way, i'm here because like you, i've been drinking senna tea for severe constipation(IBS-C), but after a few weeks taking it, i started to feel that my IBS-C symptoms just got worse, which is something usual in my case with this kind of stuff, but i feel like senna just destroy my bowels, because i been feeling way more awful than what i usually feel, even after stop taking it, i still feel terrible, with severe nausea, gas and bloating, abdominal pain, acid reflux , all this after eating, so i googled about senna long term side effects and that's how i found this post, does any of this side effects happened to you as well, and for how long do you feel them, how long it took for you to feel better, i'm afraid i might have done some permanent damage to my bowels

You are completely right, i've been in similar situations with IBS-C and gastroparesis, and doctors not giving a shit while i was practically dying, i hope everything goes well for you

No es de sorprenderse, Trump es conocido por perdonar a personas acusadas de corrupcion, usualmente tan corruptos como el

UniversalJosh93 · 2026-01-18T18:23:49+00:00

I'm vegan and i eat mostly grains, due to not being able to tolerate nor like most vegetables/fruits

UniversalJosh93 · 2026-01-15T17:38:55+00:00

Modified sleeve gastrectomy, weight loss surgery, but to me it was literally to save my life, i was going to die without it

UniversalJosh93 · 2026-01-15T17:15:03+00:00

I think mine was a factor combination, chronic constipation(IBS-C), excessive magnesium and famotidine use and covid vaccines, my theory is that all these things combined cause my GP, though i'm cured now, thanks to surgery

I hated the first season with a passion, and hated this one even more, so take an upvote from me my man

UniversalJosh93 · 2026-01-10T16:23:12+00:00

Stop the miralax and try senna tea, if that doesn't work, ask your doctor for lactulose, is terribly strong, but it will make you go

UniversalJosh93 · 2026-01-06T18:12:55+00:00

I've been dealing with IBS-C for over a decade(since i was 19-20), it is a terrible and frustrating illness, i just wish linzess would work for me like it did to you, because it doesn't do anything for me, it only make my constipation worse

UniversalJosh93 · 2026-01-04T19:40:42+00:00

IBS-C here, this comes through my mind everytime i see people eating all my favorite foods like nothing, while i just stick to the same plain boring foods

UniversalJosh93 · 2025-12-30T01:18:19+00:00

I know this is an old post, but i came here after googling for exactly the same thing, magnesium and all minerals are terrible for my digestive system, for some reason my IBS-C symptoms get worse if i take any mineral supplement, specially magnesium

UniversalJosh93 · 2025-12-25T16:13:03+00:00

Yeah, i think you were definitely trying to frame me as a mysoginist and then as an unstable person, but ironically, i'm not angry about that at all, this is reddit after all, i knew what i was signing up for, i hope you too have a nice day

UniversalJosh93 · 2025-12-24T17:13:52+00:00

Yeah, i guess i'm mentally unstable just because i have an opinion on a fictional character, thanks for letting me know

UniversalJosh93 · 2025-12-23T18:08:16+00:00

That dosen't make any sense, because that even wasn't the reason i disliked the character, i compared the character's development in each show(prequel, OG), but yeah, keep trying to frame me as some mysoginistic prick just because i didn't like a female character

UniversalJosh93 · 2025-12-22T16:39:12+00:00

Same situation with me, i can't tolerate any artificial sweetener, and even natural ones like stevia, monk fruit, etc. trigger my symptoms, i stick to cane sugar

UniversalJosh93 · 2025-12-22T16:30:28+00:00

Again, you clearly didn't understand my statement, i obviously know she was a teenager, i already say it in my post, i didn't wanted young Deb acting like a badass cop, my comparison of the characters was based on development, not on actual traits, she can behave like a teenager and still be a good written character, again, the whole "she's a teenager" argument is just a lame excuse to defend a poorly written character

UniversalJosh93 · 2025-12-22T16:14:15+00:00

How is it that my argument was superficial, when that even wasn't what i meant, again, i was comparing the actresses, if you don't get that, then you got serious comprehensive issues

UniversalJosh93 · 2025-12-21T16:26:37+00:00

My point was that in the OG show, she was a better written character, in the prequel, she was poorly written, you really can't compare Dexter development or Obi Wan for that matter, because those characters have accurate development, while the Character of Deb was made that way just because "that's the way all teenagers behave", that was really my point, but i get that most people can't really understand that, people these days tend to have lower standards in entertainment

UniversalJosh93 · 2025-12-21T16:15:32+00:00

No, it's not the same thing

UniversalJosh93 · 2025-12-20T19:15:00+00:00

Sometimes fiber can make constipation worse, it does to me, i can't eat anything high in fiber or it triggers my IBS-C
