Dealing with Digestive Issues: Need Advice!

Ive dealt with the diarrhea, urgency, frequency, stomach pain, etc for years but I’ve been having worsening pain when going to the bathroom and constipation which has never been a problem for me but my doc just cancelled my appointment I’ve been waiting for and the next one I could get isn’t for another month! I’ve tried every dietary change I can find and nothing has helped how can I get through this next month? What can I eat or take that won’t upset my stomach but will help ease the pain?

This is how I feel!! Been having gastritis most of my life but haven’t been constipated til recently and it’s caused a lot of tummy issues on top of hemorrhoids. My doctor suggested eating prunes 2x a day. I was taking stool softener nightly as he said Miralax may sometimes be too harsh and cause bloating but either way I think taking them for too long creates a dependence so I am trying to ease off them. Eat lots of veggies and fruit. And take probiotics daily. What kind of stomach pain are you having? Mine’a in lower abdomen.

I would ask to be put on a waitlist for a sooner appt/cancellations if possible! Waiting longer than expected is the worst! Plain chicken and rice and broccoli florets as simple as it may sound it pretty standard for IBD/IBS safe foods! I would do a quick google search to find meal ideas like it - I wish you well! 💕

The thing that got me going almost every day was doing MiraLax in the morning and in the evening. I also drink benefiber throughout the day. It’s a probiotic.
