Constipation 💩 TMI

The poop emoji needs to be a sad face because this shit is not fun. I’ve had pretty severe constipation for as long as I can remember. Growing up my mom had me drinking Milk of Magnesia, Magnesium Citrate and Miralax. I’ve had prescriptions for Miralax up until I was 17. About three months ago, I was backed up for an entire 8 days. Not one bowel movement. I was given a prescription for something called Linzess. It took an entire bottle of Magnesium Citrate, a dose of Miralax, a suppository, AND AN ENEMA! All to just finally make me go. Over this past week I have been so constipated. 😓 While taking the Linzess, you really aren’t supposed to need other stool softeners. I had a doctors appointment on Friday and brought up my constipation. She said to go ahead and try a suppository. I had my husband give me a suppository yesterday because the bloating was so bad. He seems to think that I tried to use the restroom too soon after the suppository because I barely went. I had a small amount of mucus-like feces. I’ve been having terrible lower back pain, I’ve never had pains this bad. While straining to poo, shooting pains go up my spine and down into my abdomen. As I type this I’m trying to use the restroom. I drank a Powerade with a dose of Miralax in it, this morning. I’m having more of the mucus-like poo. My back is hurting so bad and abdomen cramping. It’s a possibility that I’m pregnant, we’ve been trying for two years. I’m going to test today. Could pregnancy be causing this constipation and back pain?? Ugh I don’t know what to do. This is the worst. Any advice? This is not a troll. We need to create a group where we can talk about IBS.
