I have multiple diseases like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis, fybromyalgia?

Hi, my name is (…), I am 50 years old. I have multiple diseases like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis, fybromyalgia, excema, anxiety, depression, gerd, bone density and gastroporiesis. I take meds for everything. My question is about the gastroporiesis, my Dr has done multiple testings and all come out to be I’m constipated. I can be over 7 days without having a bowel movement. I end up taking all the meds the Dr has prescribed. linzess, amitiza, dolcolax, miralax, metamucil, lactulose and stool softeners. Nothing works and when it does i have diarrhea all day and painful. Please help, I don’t know what else to do.

That’s not due to gastroparesis,

U need to do further investigations,
It’s most probably intestinal trouble.. barium enema , US is to be done

Put in consideration that those lots of drugs for other medical problems that u have causes decrease in the intestinal motility,
Try to modify your medication s as well

My opinion there is no permenant solution unless you try to eliminate some of your drugs, for example antidepressants , fibromalgia , arthritis and calcium drugs can cause constipation
Sorry

Try and reduce as much medicines as possible (excpet the ones that are most essential.)
Yoga,abdominal exercises with pre/pro biotics will help.
Thanks

Also you will have to be precise about trying to go and sit in the toilet in the same time during the day as it can help in making a habit of defecating.. Also take plenty of probiotics like yogurt and garlic. Drink warm water as it helps in improving metabolism. Add more of fenugreek… Read more »
