My digestion can be so slow that by the time I finally have to go , which can be a week or even more apart, it's so hard. I just don't have to go that often. My digestion has always been slow. I remember taking mineral oil as a child. I also got a barium enema and had to have my impacted stool removed by a doctor as a child. I also drank citurcel for a long time and it didn't seem to help. There have been periods when I've had slow digestion, but I went to the bathroom fine. My mom is the exact opposite than me in several ways and it really depresses me. She has Crohn's disease and recently had part of her colon removed due to an obstruction. She is constantly going to the bathroom, while I very often only have to go once a week. She also is constantly fatigued, while I'm always wide awake and take meds so I'm not, but that's beyond the scope of this group. I have fiber gummies, which were so good when I started taking them, but now I'm sick of them, unfortunately. I also love fiber one brownies and I want to get more. I have always had pretty slow digestion and I don't know what to do, or if there is even anything I can do to speed it up any. I wish I had diarrahea like my mom. I know I didn't spell that right. sorry. I also rather be fatigued all the time, instead of wide awake. My dad doesn't understand. He's told me several times I should sit on the toilet everyday and that I should just push. It's not that simple. I still wouldn't have to go that often. He also doesn't understand about me feeling wide awake either. He's also told me that I would be asleep within minutes if I would just lay down. It's also not that simple, unfortunately, but my dad doesn't understand because everything is easy for him.
