constipation, chronic
"I went from ibs to ibs c and suffered severe constipation for three months. To the point of when I went it caused hemmoroid and a tear. I went to my gastrointestinal md who insured me it was not cancer or anything from the results of my colonoscopy eight months earlier.  He gave me amitiza one or two pills a day depending on the consistency.  It works well and I go more regular but every two weeks I get stomach spasms and an increased urge to go that almost cripples me.  Swelling occurs gets hard to breathe have passed out from the pain.  I use a cream prescribed to help heal the stretching and swelling.  Bm is usually thin and flat but feels like a huge boulder.   Any suggestions or thoughts?  Should I discontinue the medicine ?"
