So I am straining to move my bowels and at times ill have forced belches or reflux... its really awful and i dont know what it means or how to prevent it. I cant help but strain.

Also you experiencing nausea or vomiting, as well? I know for most of us who are diagnosed that would mean to look out for obstruction, but I'm not sure what the case would be for you...

Are you taking any laxatives?

Im taking metamucil but its been going on for awhile...when i did think i had an obstruction i got an x-ray and the doctor said i was fine.

Hmm... maybe you could try Miralax and see if that helps you in addition to the metamucil?

I don't really know what to recommend for the reflux, though... I know there's medication for it, and some people also recommend sleeping with your pillow raised a bit. I get it sometimes too but not too often.
