I have a question about chronic constipation and I really really REALLY need the answer so I was hoping that someone could help me out ♥?

Okay so first off, I'm emetophobic (the irrational fear of vomit). I tried to just let myself do it but it's not that simple.

I can't eat or drink or sleep because my stomach is so full and bloated and I feel sick. Two days ago I did a saltwater flush that made me go to the bathroom only 3 times and even afterwards I still felt no relief. It was my birthday that day so I had a slice of cake and a bottle of water. Then the day after that I ate some eggs and another slice of cake and a bottle of water. I couldn't eat or drink much of anything because I was in so much pain.

I woke up feeling terrible so I tried doing another saltwater flush since laxatives no longer work but the that didn't even work this time. I drank a lot of water today but barely peed and I still feel full with the water. I even forced myself to eat some chicken today thinking that maybe I felt sick because I was hungry but that didn't help

I was desperate for relief so I went and got an enema, did that and was only able to hold it in for about 3 minutes. I ended up crying on the toilet but I still haven't had a bm. I'm scared and feel terrible and I've already been to the hospital 4 times now (where they misdiagnosed me as an anorexic for starving myself to avoid being sick BECAUSE of how constipated I am). I'm just so scared. I don't know what to do and my mom's fed up with me.

You need to stop with the saltwater and enemas. They are not healthy. You need to see a doctor, not an emergency room. An ER is for emergencies, and if they find nothing to be an emergency, they aren't going to be much help. You need to see a doctor who specializes in digestion -- in your case, a pediatric gastroenterologist. It is also possible that you need to see a therapist. Not for anorexia but just because you are so stressed out -- stress can have a huge affect on the digestive system. I have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and also anxiety disorder, and I know constipation and bloating can be a big part of that.

You might have GERD (GastroEsophageal Reflux Disease) which can be helped a lot by changing or controlling what you eat and the proper medication, NOT with laxatives or enemas. My husband has GERD and he often feels bloated and constipated. You might also have some food allergies or food sensitivities -- things you eat might be upsetting your stomach. Try eating only oatmeal (gluten-free), rice, egg whites, lean meats, veggies. Small amounts. See if it helps. Avoid fatty foods, fried foods, soda, dairy, citrus (like oranges), spicy foods, chocolate, and tomatoes for awhile.

If you consume a lot of salt -- I'm assuming that's what you did with the "saltwater flush" -- then it makes sense your body would hold onto the water you drink. You know, like salty food makes you thirsty? Cut out the salt. Increase your potassium, maybe, with nuts, potatoes and bananas.

It sounds like you need fiber in your diet is all. Try fresh fruits and vegetables (yes you can cook them). If you have 2 BM’s a week you’re ok.

Do a search on "vitamin C flush". Do a vitamin C flush. It will work, I promise.

I just saw one that said to take 1000 mg every half hour. I've sometimes had to take 50,000 mg, so that would have been way too slow for me. So I used to take 5000 mg at a time. I think it's quite safe. I never had any problems with it. My experience is, you can do it as fast as you want to. But your choice.

One thing: a lot of vitamin C is, apparently, GMO. So if you're going to make a practice of doing this, get some that's not GMO. Nutribiotic makes a sodium ascorbate vitamin C that's not GMO. But for this one time, don't worry about the GMO. You need relief.

Mind you, this is not the answer to chronic constipation. It will move your bowels. But you need to address the causes of your problem.

Here's one resource. They have a product called Hydro-C that's really good. It's like the vitamin C flush, except it's better. You don't need as much as you would taking vitamin C alone.

If you had a BM two days ago, you're NOT constipated. By not eating, your body isn't producing fecal matter, dimwit. I'm guessing it's *gas or metabolic imbalance from your seriously screwed up diet. See your doctor... and a therapist for your eating disorder.

If you are in pain, you may have a blokage and will need to go to the ER. Other than that, you might try a mineral oil enema (1 to 2 cups) given slowly, held overnight, and followed by soapsud enemas until you are clear. Stay away from most laxatives, they can be harsh, useless, and are so much harder on your system than an enema
