so i posted a few hours ago mentioning my struggles with constipation. right before i posted it i took a mini enema from CVS, not sure exactly what’s in it off the top of my head. I have taken them twice previously but kind of did it wrong and didn’t hold them in. Well this time I held it in for 5 minutes. I cannot stop pooping. i’m not sure if this is normal. it’s been 4 hrs now and i keep pooping every 45min-1 hr. i’m drinking electrolytes to try and replenish my body. I am scared that i’ve caused some sort of damage though, it’s like i’m having muscle spasms down there or something and my butt hole feels weird. not pain or anything just kind of that “need to push” feeling. i am a hypochondriac so i know i could be overreacting but i am really scared.

I have had bowel issues for a few years now, sometimes chronic diarrhea, sometimes chronic constipation, sometimes a mix of both. currently i’m in a constipation phase. it reallly really sucks. coffee doesn’t really work, i get enough fiber, drink enough water, and i exercise a decent amount. i genuinely don’t know what to do. i always feel incomplete when i go to the bathroom. i’ve tried enemas (only mini ones) but i never can hold them in long enough for them to be super effective. i’m scared to try magnesium citrate because im a busy woman who can’t really put away a day just to poop. if anyone has any advice plssss help
