So sad, have to stop CD (TMI)

[Mocha]

This is the end of my 1st week (2nd time restaring). Having been off work yesterday with dizziness, nausea and uncontrolable tiredness I ended up in casualty with impacted faeces (sorry).

I was desperate and tried a variety of over the counter products and was even taking psyllium, But nothing helped. I ended up in A&E and left with a nasty mini enema which took two attempts to clear the blockage. Two hours later I experienced a horrible 'I'm dying' period of three hours when I had what I can only describe as labour pains left me shaking uncontrolably for ages. Just as I about to call the emergency doctor the pains dissapeared and haven't come back. It was so so scary, I really did think that I was either having a miscarrige (of a pregnancy that I didn't previously know about) as I did start to bleed a bit. i am not/ wasn't pregnant as it would be an imaculate conception!

I am well and truely scared to carry on, and the doctor said not to anyway. So I'm saying goodbye. All the best to you all.

Mocha.

Sorry to hear that. The psyllium makes it worse if you're already constipated. I also learnt that the hard way. Hope you feel better soon x

[AnnieAnnie]

Maybe you need to clear out what is there if it's built up, then reintroduce the husks? I take between 4 and 6 a day & to every other day.

Psyllium husks - you can get them as powder to stir into water or as capsules which are much easier to take.
