Constipation anismus slow transit and migraines
I have pelvic floor dysfunction and slow transit causing me to hardly ever go to the toilet, I usually go once a week with the help of a stimulant laxative (dulcolax) which is agony. I’ve been told by my doctors to take this stimulant laxative every three days, they have said this is safe and the alternative is worse as it could stretch my bowel, but I don’t think I can handle taking them every 3 days (all of them don’t seem to understand how much pain it causes) even though this has been going on for 3+ years, and migraines nearly every day (4 times a week average) for about 10+ years, they just seem to like prescribing me all different medications each time I go to see them, and never give me what I want which is scans. My colorectal surgeon did send me to get biofeedback, however the centre don’t even have a machine as it broke and the nurse just proceeds to prescribe me stool softerners 😂 so I’m asking if anyone else suffered with one or both of these issues and what has helped? Acupuncture? Massage? Certain diets? Herbs? Medication? I’ve tried different diets and the only one that seems somewhat better is low fibre? Which is strange. As for my migraines nothing seems to help them stay away, just painkillers to manage it. (For more info on the migraines - the pain is at the base of my neck, up to the top of my head, and in my eyes)
