Im so sorry you are suffering with this. I was constipated until i was like 60 yrs old, i think mostly from being stressed out by my mother and their not making vegetables unless they were doused in stinky rancid olive oil which i refused to eat. I ate their green beans about once a week. Im like, mother you had one job - teaching your kid to poop!

I finally got myself unconstipated this past decade or so. Its not easy. Now for the first time i feel light in my belly. But it takes diligence - and salad! And staying on top of it, not letting it go too long before i take a stool softener, maybe twice a month.
