Chronic Constipation
I have tried: Prunes; more fruits/veggies; OTC softeners;
laxatives
; yogurt; probiotics; exercise.....and it is to a chronic stage. If I take prescription Linzess or Trulance provided by GI doctors, I am going and going and going. Softeners and some OTC
laxatives
don't work anymore.

Bowel glued together and severe stricture in colon.
Due to Covid, the only telephone advice my consultant told me was to take daily
laxatives
. Sadly, the sigmoidoscopy left me with a severe infection and multiple antibiotics to clear and 5 weeks off work. As Covid has progressed, so have the infections.

New here and been struggling, especially with paclitaxel
I had been phoning cancer line for a week and they simply told me to pile on the
laxatives
. Nothing. Finally, G.P. told me to go to A and E and I was admitted. Out after 3 days. The exhaustion and muscle pain is really bad, as is peripheral neuropathy. I'm also so unsteady and dizzy.

Stool withholding - 2 years of desperate training
He was first prescribed
laxatives
when he was 6 months old and had suffered from constipation regularly until he was about 2 years old when it finally became more manageable with higher dose.

Constipation since age of 8 and no solution.
Any help would be appreciated as over-using
laxatives
is apparently a cause of constipation too.

RLS medication opioids constipation
My miracle came with 2 mg of buprenorphine which is an opioid nightly it works perfectly however I had to start taking
laxatives
in the form of 2 ducolax tablets nightly. This worked well for 18 months and now suddenly I am suffering horrific constipation.

Update
Also, my NHS endo on Monday suggested that I should just take
laxatives
indefinitely to solve the gut problem and made it seem like it was somehow my fault for having a "sluggish bowel"...). Likely due in part to the SIBO, my vitamin levels are unsurprisingly low, despite eating a balanced diet.

The Magnitude Trial (and me, with scatological references)
I have since restored a slight normalcy using combinations of various osmotic
laxatives
and a small amount of stimulus laxative a few times a day. My consumption of
laxatives
is 5-10 times any sane dose. It is more than abuse but that is what it takes.

Should I push for a colonoscopy sooner?
Eventually it got so bad no matter what I ate or drank, I resorted to taking
laxatives
way too frequently. Stool softeners alone didn’t help. I’ve already had a colonoscopy and endoscopy done few years ago and they said there was irritation but that was it and to eat better.

Scared of colon cancer
It started when I was feeling a little constipated and then I took some
laxatives
and was able to go again. But even after I go poop it still feels like I have to go like I haven’t fully emptied out. One of the times I went it was really thin.
