Imagine always feeling like you have to go to the bath-room, but you can’t—even after seeking treatment. If that describes you, you’re not alone. Read Kati’s story about living with chronic idiopathic constipation: sponsored ChronicConstipation
One day my husband commented on how long I was staying in the bathroom and asked if everything was alright. That's when I realized it wasn't. I'd never had issues with my digestive system or moving my bowels before, but for weeks I'd been playing solitaire on my phone to pass the time while I tried to go.
Since nobody understood and so few people wanted to listen, I felt a lack of concern that left me feeling alone and frustrated to where I began to question my self-worth. I yearned for the old Kati, convinced the current version would never be as great as the original. I assembled an excellent medical team that I could trust and to whom I've held tightly ever since. My health care providers include a primary care physician and a gastroenterologist who is a motility specialist, which means he has special training in disorders involving movements of muscles within the digestive system.
Initially, I was embarrassed to share the details of what I was experiencing when my treatments weren't helping. It took me a while to get over the taboo of talking about bowel movements, but I soon realized that for things to get better, I had to tell my health care providers about my ongoing symptoms that were affecting my life. It's been challenging, but my health and dignity are worth it.
