My wife is addicted to laxatives. She takes 4-5 CVS brand laxatives, containing Bisacodyl every night before bed. We were married 5 years ago and it was then that I found out that she has been taking laxatives for 25-30 years. She is currently 52 years old. I tried to get her help by taking her to a GI specialist.She had a colonoscopy that came back ok.

Now, whenever I eat my stomach becomes so hard and distended it's like I'm 9 months pregnant. One meal will take all day and night to diminish the bloating a little bit. I've been reading about all the symptoms of severe laxative abuse and is this severe bloating related to this being the end of the line for me with laxatives? I've had episodes where I had to eat a lot of tomato sauce because of the potassium to get my heart to calm down.

My biggest problems are severe stomach pain after eating and constipation despite a high fiber diet. My GI has recommended taking a laxative daily. Is this safe long-term?

Now I feel like my bowel is constantly full. My stomach is hard and uncomfortable. I began using laxatives but don't use them daily, 3 times a week. I switch between Correctol and a sienna tea. I just want to get off laxatives and get rid of this bloated, hard, full and uncomfortable feeling and go like a "normal" person.

i read an article that said it was basically useless to take laxatives, because your body still absorbs all the calories and fat etc. taking laxatives just gets that "full" feeling out of you, although when you get diarrhea, your stomach swells anyway. well just remember... laxatives don't do a thing... if you're still concerned about weight loss that is. hope this helps!

They sent him home as he seemed to have recovered and gave him a laxative to take (I think it is lactolose), which they told him to take on days he doesn't have abowel movement. He goes most days. About 6 months later he had just eaten breakfast and the same thing happened. He tried to get to the bathroom to be sick but collapsed before he got there. While he was lying on the floor he gained consciousness and then vomited.

I've been having those symptoms,and my doctor has told me it was an ulcer.It can cause your stomach to burn.Does your stomach burn after you eat?Or is the burning relieved by eating?Do you feel nauseated at times?You should go to the doctor(preferably a gastroenterologist)and have them check you out.

Hi everyone, here's my problem. Since last Wednesday I've been getting stomach pains that can be from Mild to extreme in pain, I had constipation but the laxatives finally caught up with me and that is no longer an issue, but going to the toilet provides only temporary relief, and whenever I eat food the pain comes back. I can't focus in school, I roll around in my bed when it's really bad. I just want to know what's wrong with me.

Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining, and can keep your stomach in pain that surely affects your bowels and constipation. In the meantime, I can offer some suggestions to maybe work on your constipation. Buy from a supermarket or pharmacy, two mineral-oil enemas and a regular enema. Use one mineral-oil enema at a time to judge whether it helps. If not, try the second enema. Use the third enema, and if you get partial relief, you need to use a temporary laxative.

-) ) Do you take any laxatives or eat a lot of fiber??

I had my gallbladder out a few years ago... I take stool softeners, laxatives, and enemas... I've tried drinking that other stuff but I just throw it back up...

I'm just hoping that someone out there has any home remedies or something else I might try...

After a week on the acidophilus I am just experiencing slime. It reminds me of the stuff you vomit after all the food in your stomach is out. I am a pretty healthy 38 year old that is becoming very aggravated with this bout of abnormality. I have a cramp in my gut and frequent visits to the bathroom. My doctor said to take the acidophilus and try eating more bananas to try and firm up the stools.

I started taking 20 then after a bit of time 40 mg of Prilosec (normal dose is 20 mg) and that ended the swallowing issue but the stomach pain remained. I tried Gas X, laxative (even though I wasn't constipated), the Prilosec (still to this day, and there was one more thing I tried that I can't remember at the moment. I have no appendix or gallbladder. I went to my doctor and he was concerned my esophagus was closing, all x-rays were normal.

Your symptoms sound more like a bad case of gastric reflux/gastroesophageal reflux/GERD, either due to acidity or lax esophageal sphincter or due to hiatal hernia (part of stomach forms a hernia into chest cavity). This can cause pain along throat, a feeling of something in the throat, phlegm, and pain in mouth/tongue/throat or a feeling of something prickling in your chest or something hot coming up. This happens due to the chemical burn caused by acid from the stomach.

I get extremely bad stomach pains everytime I eat followed by either diarrhea or serious constipation and compacted stools. It feels like I have a boiling pot of water in my stomach and I get bad stabbing pains that almost feel hot as well. My stomach is always making noises and I am gassy and bloated constantly. My DR put me on Benefiber and Laxatives to regulate me. He also put me on prilosec for my stomach and Levsin for IBS.

Immediately following this episode, and continuing through Monday on till now (Tuesday, 11am) I have been feeling a constant, mostly dull ache in my stomache. The pain flares whenever I sit, stand, walk, move, touch my stomache, pass gas, laugh, sneeze, drink, or eat anything. It hurts the least to lie down on my back, and the pain is less in the morning, but gets stronger through the day. It responds a small amount to Aleve.

(im almost 19 now) For a month or two ive had horrible stomach pains bloating a feeling of fullness even after going to the bathroom..Yesterday i went to the doctor he took xrays and discovered there was a ton of stool in my stomach. It was so much that it scared me. The doctor told me to take miralax saying it will help me. However my stomach still hurts so much and im still so constipated. What else can i do?

They gave me these little soft gel gas pills.. Which I took, and the pain did go away.. But then it happened again the next day. The day after that, it wasn't so bad, but I could feel it was still there.. You know? There was something wrong. Then the day after that, on saturday, the 'thing'/feeling under my breastbone was gone but it seemed to have moved down to my lower stomach. Weird no? I was hoping whatever it is would could out in the bathroom, but today is wednesday and it's still there.
