Severe Constipation???

[JWillisII]

Does anyone else suffer from severe constipation. And when you do have BM its either solid as a rock or diareha?

I have this problem all the time but I think mine is mostly from my stricture. Mines usually very hard and painful or extremely watery and nothing inbetween. If I need to have a bm i usually drink some coffee or take some miralax. Both usually seem to help but I prefer the miralax as the coffee makes my stomach extremely upset!

I used to have that, but ruptured my sigmoid colon and distended my bowel and wound up with a colostomy. Turned out to be a good thing I don't miss the constipation at all.

But, when I had it, I took stool softeners every day and Miralax to try and help but nothing really worked. My stools were always very well formed and I very rarely had diarrhea. It was the frequency of the bm's that was a problem.
