Constipation, Chronic
"I am a healthy type one diabetic who in November of 2011 completed my first marathon.  That changed in May 2011 when I was diagnosed with gastroparesis. I&#039;ve been hospitalized 32 times since then and suffer chronic constipation that, like every one else here, couldn&#039;t fix it. It is the most miserable feeling in the world. Clothes don&#039;t fit, painful itchy hemorrhoids that cause embarrassing bleeding through my clothes, and hours in the bathroom. I&#039;ve been on the medicine for two weeks and it&#039;s an absolute miracle! I started at 290mcg and realized I could handle 145mcg. The lower dose allows me to have a regular schedule and no accidents. If I feel like I&#039;m backing up at all I go to 290 for a day or two.  "
