Avatar f tn I have been through the same thing that lasted almost a week. I finally had to get some prescription strength laxative liquid plus Zelnorm. It was awful and we were at the beach! Just to lay it all out there for you, once the meds kicked in.....I was in so much pain, I was vomiting. I had to don a rubber glove and remove it manually at first! Once I got it started, i was fine after that. I spent the rest of the day on the beach and was fine.
Avatar n tn Listen to me you all, I had my gallbladder out 15 years ago. I have had nothing but trouble since day one. I have Chronic Constipation and now I'm at the end of it. I will need surgery I would think. My skin gets dry after all these years of Lactalose and **** the doctors have given me. I can tell you the a enzyme will help you to cope with all this. Garden of life has a good one but its exspensive. I could not eat anything normal.
Avatar f tn Talk to your doc about it. Check the government site about zelnorm, or the site for the company that makes zelnorm. It should give you more information. The extreme right-sided pain could be due to gallbladder issues. Talk to your doc about it.

Avatar n tn What does it mean when you have had digestion problems for two months and doctors aren't finding out whats going on with you? I have constipation and can only go by using a laxative. I always have bloating, cramping, spasms, discomfort in the left side that gets worse after eating or when I'm up on my feet. The problem is that it's always there. My diarrhea looks like its black mud in the toilet and sometimes it's green or yellowish.
Avatar f tn ve had IBS with constipation for over 15 years. Before Zelnorm was removed from the market, THATS when the straining REALLY started. My parents & grandparents say I was practically born constipated. So back to my question, is there a chance the strokes came from my bathroom troubles. Any ideas?

Avatar m tn Do you think laxative use about once a month is too much and will cause lazy colon or is that not so bad? I do have bowel movements but sometimes i just need to get "the rest" out after a month or so.
Avatar f tn I, too, was addicted to laxatives off and on for years. For me, it was because of an eating disorder. Trust me when I say this, using laxatives to loose or control weight loss is an illusion. You do loose mostly water and dehydrate yourself. Now, I'm no Dr. However, prolonged use can cause your bowels to be "lazy". So here are some tips to help physiologically and psychologically: -Where you are pregnant, always consult your Dr. Before doing anything.

Avatar n tn I have recently have been diagnosed with Diabetic enteropathy of the colon and my Gastroenterologist has prescribed Zelnorm for this condition.Has this medication been effective in treating Diabetic enteropathy snd what are the gratest side effects? Thank you.
Avatar f tn This looks like "official" matter. What meds are in question? Colonoscopy showed something? IBS is not a disease at all, and there's no drugs for IBS, as I know (my opinion). Zelnorm was even withdrawn from the (U.S.) market last year, now it might be back again.

Avatar f tn What is the best way to help my body to recover from laxative dependency?
Avatar n tn Eat more fiber. Long term laxative use will weaken your intestinal muscle. The only way to get yourself off of it it to strengthen it. You may have to deal with that "disgusting bloated" feeling for a while. It took you a while to get to this stage, it'll take a while to get out of it. Digestive enzymes and probiotics will also help. Good luck.
