This is perplexing. You obviously have enough fiber, are you drinking enough water? Most of the population of the USA is dehydrated. If you are taking fiber pills along with all the fruit and veggies, you need to be drinking a lot of water. I would suggest that you ask your GP for a referral to a Gastrointestinal practitioner. You may have IBS, but you may also have something going on in the lower colon that is keeping it from the contractions it needs to push the stool out. It's not fun, I've had it done more than a few times, but the consequences can be bad if this is not taken care of. Mega colon, IBS, cancer, the list is long. Please consult a good GI.
weird. especially since youre taking fiber and a vegetarian. maybe you need to drink more water too.
Eat prunes and drink prune juice. They are a great natural laxative.
Chocolate exlax!
that should help if not you might wanna see you docter verry soon!
Make sure you are drinking at least 64 ounces of water a day.
See you doctor as you are already eating the things needed to relieve constipation, he will assess you for IBS and give you better advise.
idk but if this keeps going on u should talk 2 a doc
maybe actually cut back on the fiber. It can cause you to become constipated. Try a cup of coffee in the morning, that usually get things going. Or prune juice.
Go to the doc! May be embarrassing, but it could save your life!
