Been there with the constipation. My doctor likes to joke with me some about my "unnatural body" (she knows I will take it well and that I don't mind) since my body doesn't conform to any standards. My body doesn't retain sodium, so I have to eat salt like crazy or I get very sick, I have Cyclic (Cyclical for those of you not in the US) Vomiting Syndrome, so I still get sick when I have enough sodium in my blood, I am very anemic, I have a heart murmur, I get pneumonia at least once a year and I have Tourette Syndrome. My doctors have tried putting me on several medicines but they never work in my system. Most will work for a week, though I've had some that lasted for three days even though they are the "wean on" type and I was still increasing my dosage. It just leaves the doctors scratching their heads and telling me that I "don't fit standards". I know it isn't the medicines because I have been constipated all my life, even before I started taking medicine, and it doesn't matter what I eat (I've tried all types of elimination diets. Nothing helped). Mine is genetics (stupid genetics) and my family has different parts of what I have. I'm the lucky one that got it all.

Try some sugar free gummy bears :)

We all laugh about in my family. So you can join us. my mother has IBS and I inherited it from her as well. We talk about in my house like an everyday conversation.
