Constipation
OMG yes. I don't think there are many out there though. I've had this issue since the end of my treatment in Nov. 2017. Severe constipation. I don't ever feel the need to go. I could go 5 days or more and nothing, well I do get a bloated stomach, lol. I eat everything I can with fiber: raw fruit, vegetables, nuts, salads, etc., even fiber pills. It got so bad my gastro ended up giving me a prescription for Linzess. This helps but it is expensive and I still need to substitue with milk of magnesia on occasion. It's scary bad and sometimes I think I am going to end up in the hospital with a blockage.

Constipation
Shortly after my diagnosis in March 2017, I was very constipated and after several days of digging my husband got me and gave me a fleet enema. Mostly I am fairly regular but every once in a while I go through a phase of constipation again. I’ve been experiencing it for the past few weeks so I think I’ve broken through.After about three days I did start taking stool softene. I don’t tend to avoid them because I also sometimes get diarrhea and I didn’t want that to happen.
