im able to go atleast once a day, today i started taking metamucil, ive tried enema’s only done it 3 times, ive tried laxatives, ive changed my diet, im getting results, but i still have abdominal cramping, and some chest pain. could the stool be impacted?

The laxatives provided made me vomit, will the fact that i’ve not eaten for the last couple of days and drank lots of water be enough?

It makes me so ill. They are going to give me pills this time–a LOT of pills supposedly, but is there an easier way? What about regular laxatives?

I have severe reactions to laxatives that leave me in immense pain. I have had to cancel my colonoscopy twice because I can’t do the prep laxatives. There must be something else I can do? The doctors office only suggested fasting for several days?? Gotta be something more gentle out there I can do??

I have had this issue for 2 years now, what is next, I still get intoxicated and bloated and cramping! I don’t have a normal life, and do certain activities because of being so bloated, nothing works I tried laxatives and it takes like about 5 days still or maybe more to have a bowel movement. I eat very healthy run exercise.

I am scheduled for a colonoscopy tomorrow and have been preparing all day. I have had 3 oz. of phospho-soda and 2 laxatives. Now I think I have developed a hemmoroid. Is this common and how does it go away. Will it affect the colonoscopy? I will discuss it with my doctor tomorrow but in the meantime wonder if anyone else has experienced the same thing?

If you overdose on laxatives (which is basically what they make you do) will the tip of your small intestine be inflamed for the colonoscopy the next day?
Thanks!

Prior to a colonoscopy, laxatives are given to completely empty the colon. So, after the procedure, does it sometimes happen that it takes a few days to have a bowel movement?

Before a colonoscopy u have to take those special laxatives. How often do you end up going to the toilet? Every 5 mins or so? And alsooo do u get anal leakage???

I was diagnosed with IBS, and nothing seems to help. Not the medication, laxatives, a high fiber diet, stool softners, nothing. Some weeks I’m fine, but for some reason other’s I’m not, and I don’t change my diet. I’m completely miserable, does anyone hace suggestions? Laxatives were my last shot, and that didn’t work.
