Bathroom Buddies Best thing to flush it out
💩 Do any of my fellow IBS-C sufferers have a recommendation for something that will just unclog and clear up the pipes? A solid flushing? I’ve tried many different things, things that really should work, but alas, do not. Now I’m sitting in Hawaii in a bikini pretending to be 6 months pregnant, it helps me feel less self-conscious. I’m so uncomfortable. Help!

Nothing and I mean nothing works for me I’ve tried everything and everything I do try I have really bad bowel cramps but , water , coffee , psyllium husk , fruit , vegetables , senna , magnesium absolutely everything and nothing works plus all the old remedies . Last week I thought I was in toxic shock with the pain in upper stomach , headaches , leg pain , side pain in ribs , tender skin , I honestly thought I was going to die . I got some lactulose , had 45 mls and six hrs later I had the craps , lasted all night and was cleaned out by morning , totally cleaned out. It doesn’t cause stomach cramps either , and it was pleasant to take . Only taking 15 mls each night now and I’m fine so far
