Terrible constipation + laxatives make me sick
I’m 18F and I’ve been dealing with IBS since I was 12 years old. However it seems to be getting significantly worse. On Friday, I took four vegetable laxatives. Stupid me thought vegetable laxatives would be more gentle.
Oral laxatives of all kind cause severe stomach upset and the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my entire life, even if I drink 60oz of water with the laxatives.
The other kind.. well they hurt my butt.
Anyways. I woke up at 5am on Sunday to horrible stomach cramping. I went to the toilet and could barely go. I took zofran for nausea and bentyl to hopefully help relieve some of the pain.
Around 9am I woke up, throwing up completely undigested food from the night before. And I mean terrible pain to the point I was in tears. I had to go to the ER for iv pain meds and nausea medicine. I’m still recovering and barely being able to eat.
Does anyone else have any advice? I’m on probiotics and fiber supplements already. I don’t know what else to do and I genuinely can’t live like this.
