It made me have to poop so bad but I couldn't. They gave me enemas and had me drink 2 gallons of mural ax in one night. Then my doctor decided that a surgery should be the last option.

I was transferred as to Neumors children's hospital as an emergency patient and placed in the icu for a surgery the next morning. No enemas or stool softener a could fix it, I was going to need surgery. They gave me an x Ray and told me that I was completely impacted. One day, when I was 17 years old, my mom took me to the hospital because I had not pooped in about 2 months and I felt like I was dying. Doctors didn't even know what to do anymore. I would come home at 17 years old my would be crying and searching the Internet for anything that could help me. I suffered with this problem all the way through my junior year of high school. Over my life I had been in the hospital a few times and they gave me an enema and stool softeners and discharged me. I had no friends anymore because I was too uncomfortable to go out and do anything, and I often missed weeks of school at a time because I could not move or I would be in so much pain. Constipation was literally controlling my life. I had already taken every type of stool sofener ever, and eventually even enemas stopped working for me. But by then my body was so adapted to the cycle that nothing I did ever changed anything. When I was about 15 years old, I finally began to realize how serious it was that I only pooped about once a month. This often tore my rectum and cause hemhorroids. I would poop, then I would not poop again for 2 weeks, then I would become constipated and hold my poop in for 2 weeks, and then finally I would let one out the size of a softball. Some people say that's not physically possible, but trust me it is! My body began to work in a cycle.

I would only hold it for a few days when I was younger, but it became a habit, and by the time I was 10 years old, I could hold it for about 3 months.

When I was 3, I was molested, and (I was told by my doctor but I'm still not sure how the two are connected) I began holding my poop. I've had chronic constipation since I was 3 years old. They're also going to do a pancreas scan due to my pale stools.This isn't a question but I just wanted to share this for anybody that it might help because it truly changed my life. So fingers crossed, it might just be something that a course of antibiotics will cure! I'll find out more when I next visit him. He said that they had found a small trace of bacteria that could possible cause my frequent bowel movements. I spoke to my gastroenterologist while I was there, and he said that they had received a 2nd set of results through from the stool sample I gave a couple of weeks ago. However, 10 minutes after the procedure - I was back to my normal self. I got told that I wouldn't be in a fit state to drive. I got the taxi there and back - and to be honest I wish I had driven. I can't really remember it due to the sedative - it's kind of like trying to remember a dream. It was quite a harmless procedure to be honest. They took a sample from the inside of my colon to analyse just to make sure.

Will a laxative clean me out
