    I’m literally sitting here in my car, afraid to turn on the Uber app because I’ve been farting constantly all day and unable to poop.

      Oof good luck, constipation is no joke. I’ve been suffering because of it for years.

        It’s only been today. My gut is telling me it’ll be fine by end of day.

        Went to the store and just grabbed stuff off the hot bar by intuition. A big meatball, some steamed broccoli and bell peppers, roasted carrots and potatoes. All the gas stopped when I ate that stuff.

        Most of my health issues these days last like half a day. I’ve gotten a lot better at trusting my body when it asks for a certain food.

        No idea why that set of stuff ended the gas, but it did.

        Are you using benefiber or something? You may need a docusate sodium gentle laxative too.

          the issue with me is that I’ve used most laxatives and fibre supplements, nothing seems to work its just getting worse and worse. I’ve had a colonoscopy, and gastroscopy but nothing came out of it.

            You are not immune to the chemical or biological effects of laxatives and fiber. As a test of your diet, please name 5 vegetables with high fiber content.

            If you are legitimately doing all that you can, you should be eating a high fiber diet. So this test should be easy. I’m trying to help you, because I know someone who had the same issue. It’s mostly diet.

              Lentils(all types), beans, avocado, and broccoli. I eat a combination of theses a day with a bit of protein on the side(fish, chicken and red meat).

                Makes sense. If I had that issue, I’d try going vegetarian for a meal or two. Like eat a ton of high fiber legumes instead of meat. Oatmeal for breakfast (add chocolate), something with chickpeas for lunch, some meat etc. for dinner.
