I am terrified already. This keeps happening to me but now it is getting worse. This year since I put on some weight, I cannot have a bowel movement. I have IBS so I would usually go often. So I added benefiber to my diet, work out and the doctors prescribed me colace 2 times a day. Also I drink heaps of water and apple juice. Every 6 days or so, I have to take a laxative to force myself to go. I know lax not only kill but are bad for u. I have recently been using a little lax to help but the 3rd time it isn’t working. I use to have anorexia, hence weight gain. smoking use to trigger my bowels and I would go. Smoking does nothing I just feel sick to the point where I am bed ridden for hours! I don’t know if I am gonna puke or crap-sadly none. Just dry heaving and mild gas. I literally look pregnant. This pregnant look is scary. I can’t see my doctor till 25th-a mean one, the caring one is not til Oct. 6th. Any advice? Before I have to go to the hospital? I mean what is the worst that can happen besides pain if I wait?
It’s only been like 5 days since my some what bm…I just have cramps, bloating, and gurgling, nausea. I drink Pepto Bismol, water, n fiber. I do eat cos I do get hungry )eating soup) even though my stomach is huge=well intestines are. Stomach feels hard n like it could blow-like tight skin. I have gained 2lbs since yesterday. All in my colon….HELP!!!!
Also I have a fever, fatigue, but cannot sleep, I wake up from stomach pain but canot go, Acne, Nausea, gas, headache, trouble breathing, trouble concentrating, coughing, dry heaving,stuffy runny nose. Also I am on some meds for my disorders. There are only 2 new meds added since my bowel thing. Quetiapine Fumarate (Seriquil) for sleep, n Rabeprazole Sodim for my tummy aka acid reflux.
And the weird thing is I am so hungry and keep eating when the pain stops. Especially healthy wholesome foods. Not gaining any weight so far just the stuff that won’t come out….Plus I have no teeth-yet so I cannot eat everything average ppl can. But I do well…
OK ONE THING I TOOK THE AT HOME ENEMA ONCE IS THAT HOW IT IS IN THE HOSPITAL? COS THAT DIDN’T WORK…I AM SCARED N EMBARRASSED…

stop drinking pepto first off thats clogging ya up right there. You seriously need to go to urgent care and request for a enima. That’ll clear ya out for sure and relieve the stress of the excerment building inside you.

I go thru that also. I have gone as much as 10 days without a BM. I added acidophilus to my diet i take 1 capsule daily plus fiber 2 times daily and stool softoners. Go to the ER or urgent care sounds as if you have an impacted bowel, it could be dangerous. Seriquil is not for sleep it is an anti depressant and can be highly dangerous and cause someone who does not have mental problems to have mental problems.

Go to the ER. Maybe you have a bowel obstruction. Also Pepto Bismol causes constipation in some people. If any of your meds are narcotics they constipate also. I don’t know anything about your 2 new meds. Or maybe your bowels are impacted. Don’t be embarrassed this happens to a lot of people. Good luck!

I am sorry to hear that you are suffering so much.
I do suffer from IBS but I try don’t to take any conventional medicine for it because the secondary effect just add more symptoms to the actual symptoms from IBS.
All the symptoms you mention before are caused by constipation. All the waste and toxins in the body make the body sick.
Did you try glycerin suppositories. I use them sometimes and sometimes help and sometimes not.
Try massaging your bowels from right to left in
a circular movements, start from right side down close to your leg and go up stop just under
your rib then keep massaging go to your left side, know go down and stop just before you touch your leg and keep massaging this time go to your right side. You have use some force not just rubbing, use your open hand first and then your fists.
Keep massaging yourself in circles as many times as you need. This massages help to awake your intestines and help them with the natural movement of your internal muscles.
I hope this help. But prepare to ask for a professional help just to be able to pass this episode and after that look for a natural
treatment.
Take care.

If the enema didn’t work I’d definitely see the medical professionals if I were you. The bloating is a bit of a worry.
