  12. IBS Constipation (IBS-C) and Chronic Constipation
    Heyup, In a nutshell I've been unable to "go" unaided for about 10 years. In that time I've pretty much solely relied on glycerin enemas since they work, don't cause further GI pain (unlike literally all by-mouth meds and laxatives I've ever tried) and are cheap (since you can refill and reuse...
