Embarrassing bm issues and dont have anywhere else to ask, I take disipermine for some OCD issues related to my high functioning Autism.

The med can make me constipated and at the same time the BMs seem to not be able to form and it comes out so soft and I have to (sorry for the detail) help it out with toilet paper (lots of it). I am suppose to have fiber to make it form but when I try to have the 4 spoons a say that the Dr wants me to take I just get very very gassy with lots of mucus. How am I suppose to concentrate on my job without worry about having embarrassing issues.I did try to increase the dosage of fiber really fast and had the 4 spoons with in 2 hours. I suppose I should try to break it up. Any ideas or reassurance would be nice.

I also do not eat gluten (because of autism ) and I suspect that I should not eat diary because I get a lot of the muc gas when I have icecream or a shake, etc. I do have nervous stomach and IBS issues.

Have you asked to be referred to a gastroenterologist? I think that would be your next option. You don't say if you have scleroderma. Bowel issues are a major problem in scleroderma. Chin up!

METAMUCIL FIBER IN YOUR DRINK IS GOOD,WHEN YOU FEEL GASSY USE GAS-X,IT HELPS WITH THAT EXPLOSIVE FEELING. I USE 2 AT A TIME. GOOD LUCK! ALSO YOU COULD TALK TO YOUR DR. ABOUR LIBRAX,IT IS VERY GOOD FOR A NERVOUS STOMACH.
