Hi, I suffer severe constipation, tears and have been told that eventually I will be going down the colostomy route.
At the weekend I tried a bowel prep usually used before an op to clear out my bowel. Ever since I have had severe pain on the lowe left hand side of my bowel and am struggling even to sit up. I also feel very sick after eating anything.
Can anyone help/anyone else been in this position? I mentioned anti sickness tablets but was told I am not allowed to take as that can be dangerous.
I have found that whenever I do anything sudden or drastic (a bowel prep usually used before and op!) to my digestion I get bad results.
I don't know what to do for your immediate situation, but there are some books that might help once you are recovered enough to read. If the docs are talking colostomy and if they can't deal with your constipation, you may want to consider natural medicine. I am thinking of The Way of Herbs by Michael Tierra, Ten Essential Herbs by Latitha Thomas, and any book by Andrew Weil. There are many herbal fixes for constipation. You may find what you need there and you will certainly understand your body better.
Best of luck. Let me know how you are doing.
