I struggle with constipation daily, for years. If I don t take laxatives I will not go. Even after drinking 5 16oz bottles of water. If I do go it s like pebbles. I ve gained a lot of weight over the years and I m wondering if it s because I eat and don t digest it out correctly! I m a 37 year old female. Tried milk of mag, malox, it works causing diarrhea but then I m left bloated still. Any advice? Thanks. T.
