I'm abit embarrassed about posting this but I am really struggling to go to the toilet.
I have gone from a guaranteed one bowel movement a day, to a struggled one after 4 to 5 days and alot of mucous (sorry TMI).
It's really kicking my anxiety now and I am becoming obsessed and of course worried about why I can't go.
Last month I decided to watch my calorie intake. I am a chronic binge eater and something had to give as I felt horrific all the time. I would have put it down to this. I am now eating 1400 calories a day. But then I don't feel like I can as I haven't really changed my diet, just making better choices and eating less of what I like.
But I can't understand why I am struggling so bad. I feel like I want to go. The minute I get to the loo and try I just can't get anything out (sorry TMI). Then I risk a pile which I have suffered from ever since my pregnancy in 2014.
The doctor is baffled too. Bloods are all fine but she can't understand the chronic exhaustion and constipation. She has now referred me for bowel investigations so now i can't stop worrying even more.
I'm so miserable as the more I am struggling the more I am aware how long I am going without a movement.
I hope no one reads this and thinks I'm being silly or that it's funny because it's really getting me down now
