Constipated..still!!!!!

Hi Meg - I would suggest calling your MD. Especially if you are in this much pain and cannot eat.  You want to be sure you don't have an obstruction.  I use the old staples like bran cereal to stay regular and sometimes I still don't.  Then I eat too much of it and set off the other- the big D.  However, bran can be pretty dangerous to IBS'ers, so be careful.  But you need to try another path if the herbal remedy isn't working for you at least for now.  good luck to you.  

Prune juice and lots of water. I am in your spot right now,too.

Ulcerative colitis, Barrets Esophagus,Prolased Rectum{ouch} GERD Protonix 40 mg x 3,Lonox 2 tabs x3,Levsin 1 cap x3,plus various other RXs when a flare hits,also just diagnosed with FVL,a genetic blood disorder that makes my blood clot too much. 40mg injections of Lovenox every day.

Suppositorys won't hurt you. Sometimes that is all you need. My Dr. doesn't even mind if I take Dulcolax because he has already scoped me, has done CT scan and knows it is a functional problem so if I really get backed up I take one Dulcolax. 2 will blow me out the door. It still takes a day usually before anything happens and then it just very normal (what ever that is)

I don't think enemas are recommended unless you know that nothing else bad is going on like a blockage. Let us know what the Dr. says. I think a suppository is safer.
