Have you seen a doc? It might be worth a visit now it has been going on for so long.

Well done on the nearly 5 months, it is a fantastic achievment, especially under the circumstances :eek:

thanks bev,yeah i have laxatives but i cant take them forever,has anyoen else had it this painfully long? its embaressing apart from anythign else

I suffered lots, and ended up eating much more fibre, also drinking huge amounts more water too...

If your eating extraordinaty amounts of fibre, it is going to be leeching water from your system, which could possibly be a cause... laxatives are also a diuretic (water loss aid).

Try getting at the very least 2 litres of water down you a day (not including tea/coffee - also diuretics)

I occasionally have what i call 'poo tea' which is available from health shops, its actually called "Dr Stuarts Lax Tea" and is an infusion of liquorice and senna, couple of bags of that in hot water of an evening and your good to trot next day.... (pardon the pun)

Good Luck and may the flush be with you!!!!
