How Can Constipation And Diarrhea Be Treated?

Hi, I had a colonoscopy(sp?) less than 6 months ago and I was fine...PTL!!! Since then my husband was shot and killed and I have been hanging in there. My little boys struggles with ADHD/Dyslexia and I have been a nervous wreck they are going to kick him out of his school. So...I have been constipated...no blood, one day I did herblax and had lots of diarrhea, I then took an enema later in the evening and nothing came out. My daughter in law, who is a P.A. thinks I have internal hemorrhoids. Went to Progressive Medical and they are doing bloodwork...I am also going back to the gastro dr. tomorrow. Sorry to bother...but what do you think please kind sir? My email is YYYY@YYYY .

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Your symptoms can be related to irritable bowel syndrome. I suggest you to use over the counter medications such as Miralax for the constipation and Imodium for the diarrhea. I also suggest you to use probiotics daily. You should eat fiber rich diet and drink a lot of liquids.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
