Suggest Treatment For Persistent Constipation And Abdominal Cramps
I am struggling with constipation (life long, but more severe now) and occasional (once a month?) diarrhea. The diarrhea is brief with severe cramping and involves clamminess, sweating and, this last episode, tingling fingers. Once the diarrhea episode is over, the shocky symptoms disappear, but it s scary when it happens. I see a gynecologist and an internist once a year. I had a routine (age-related) colonoscopy about 4 months ago.
I will advise you to increase a water and high fiber foods... Avoid gaseous foods like cabbage, cauliflower, carbonated drinks etc.... Bulk forming agent like psyllium is helpful for constipation.
