Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Caution....this is not pretty. I am having a terrible problem with constipation, and I am hoping that someone can help me because I have tried everything that the surgeon suggested, and nothing is helping. I go for my 5 week checkup on Wednesday, and I am afraid that if I don't get this worked out, it will lead to some of the more embarassing solutions to the problem. I am taking a multi vitamin, 6 cal-mag-D capsules, biotin, an extra 400 mg. of magnesium, a B-12 sublingual and 1 trinsicon Iron with vitamin C. Something in this combination is plugging me up something horrible! To help the constipation, I am taking collase 3X/day, Benefiber 2X/day and for the last week I've had either MOM, correctol or x-lax as well, and nothing is loosening me up. I am able to go to the bathroom every 3-4 days, but when I do, it takes hours to get the deed done, and it is so painful I can hardly stand it. Apparently I have broken some blood vessels, because there is a LOT of blood when I am able to eliminate. I've had to wear a pad to keep the blood off my clothes. Afterwards, for a day or more, I can't sit, stand, walk or move without horrible pain that feels like it goes the entire length of my colon. The pain wakes me up at night...it is so bad! I would appreciate any help you can give me. I have stopped taking the calcium and the iron since yesterday, hoping that this will get me back to normal, but I know that this is not a long-term solution, and so far it hasn't helped. I never thought I'd say this, but I would give my right arm for a good case of diarrhea! Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
