No relief yet? My 54 year old wife has been having gastrointestinal issues since April of last year. So far, she's been told that it's IBS and one of those diver... conditions. All kinds of tests done too.I'm afraid that it's getting worse guys. The blood is getting darker and I am gassy a lot too. Tomorrow I'm going to check if I can possibly get an earlier appointment, but I highly doubt it.
take a laxative like Senakot and a stool softener like Colace and drink lots of water and eat food with fiber like corn. you should be having at least one or two bowel movements per day...if not, then it means you are not drinking enough water. if your urine is yellow, you need to drink more water. your urine should be clear. Hope this helps!

Are you taking narcotic pain pills? (Norco, oxy, tramadol etc) those can make you constipated
You have my sympathy. Some of my wife's struggles is definitely anxiety related and not taking good care of herself for a long portion of her life. Otoh, I am a man and I know it's different for women. I try not to offer any opinions. I'm not a doctor.Well cutting back on my prunes helped a little of not going so often.
Have you told your doctor that you’re popping 5/6 times a day and never feel like you’re emptying? That’s not normal and I can’t believe he hasn’t ordered a colonoscopy
The old joke, how does a mathematician cures constipation? He works it out with a pencilI'm currently eating prunes daily and drinking two to three full glasses of water and a lot of fiber vitamins and I'm still pooping anywhere from three to six times a day and not being able to empty myself fully. Does anybody have any suggestions of how to change my diet because this has been going on for weeks now. I see my doctor on November 18th for my annual checkup, but any suggestions before then would be highly appreciated.

I remember as a teenager that I used to have pebble sized shits for weeks.Well, I got my doctor's appointment coming up on Monday. I've still been having enough prunes and drinking enough water but now even though I'm still going, my stool samples are super tiny so I might need to get a colonoscopy done or something.

Colonoscopies aren’t that bad. They put you out, do the job, and you wake up refreshed as if nothing happened at all.Oh I also was just thinking about the fact that the doctor might put me on Laxatives too. I would actually prefer that over a colonoscopy.
My father was fully awake during the process. And that was five years before he died.Colonoscopies aren’t that bad. They put you out, do the job, and you wake up refreshed as if nothing happened at all.
Besides, you should have one every so many years as part of a health routine.

Well ironically that's very caring of you. I'm only 34 though and I don't think that's expected until I'm older. Anyways I'll take anything right about now to figure this out as it took me all day to completely empty myself out. I'm hoping that an extra glass of water might possibly help me too.
