I began having total constipation suddenly. The only thing that came out was some mucus and blood. My parents had divorced by then, and I spoke with them individually about this. They each told me to drink Metamucil. It didn't work, I looked pregnant and felt awful. A friend who was very close to her grandfather told me he took stool softners. I tried those too, no result. I didn't have health insurance, and I was very embarrased. I started taking stimulant laxatives every day. It's been 24 years. It's a bad way to live. They make my heart pound and I have painful cramps. There is no predictable way to know when they will "work". I am a normal weight for my height, but I think I am malnurished because I don't think my intestines are able to absorb nutrients. I feel hopeless, any advice? Dee Hi,
