Im taking one dose of lactulose a day and my stool is not soft at all, it's not bloody though but the problem is cramps are almost hourly with this, i can't sleep early or study properly due to these cramps, my doctor says it might be caused by the stool softeners and to switch to a high fiber diet instead so i was wondering if stool softeners are really causing these cramps because I haven't heard about it
I'm using a throwaway account because I feel embarrassed, I'm still in school and I feel even worse because I have no one to talk about this to, I've been suffering for over 6 months and I can't move for a few hours after I take a shit, my parents don't want me to get lis or botox and this thing is really making me depressed, I can't clean properly due to the multiple sentinel piles and sometimes it stinks, sometimes people comment on why I walk weirdly, my parents want to apply the medication that I got prescribed but i flinch everytime and it doesn't work, I genuinely can't live a normal life, what do I even do, stool softeners don't even work me usually and I've shit my pants 2 times in the last month due to laxatives, I get agonizing cramps due to laxatives and i also got appendicitis a few weeks ago which was even more painful
