Some people think that it is only the meds that cause this but I know that the adhesions also cause it. I took lactulose and got horrible stomach cramps but couldn't go. Each one of us are different on what works. My drs. always push fiber. I have given up telling them that fiber makes me have more pain but not better bowel function. I think the bowels must be pinched or something.

have been prescribed cytotec 200mg twice a day. It has the side effect that helps go potty. Works for me and when it stops I quit taking it for a month and go back on it.

I feel for you but unfortunately have no miracle cure. It’s scary when you can’t do what is a basic, necessary function. I suffer with it continually. Right now it’s 10+ days and pain. I am taking lactulose twice a day which usually works after a few days. I got out of sync because of travel and now I don’t know what to do. I have had surgery for adhesions but this lingers much to my dismay. Anyone have ideas on this?
