[QUOTE="Anaelena, post: 915527, member: 184512"] I have the same issue with the restroom. I can go 12 days without using it . A lot of people can't understand that laxatives won't work because they just sit in your stomach and cause cramping and bloating and nothing else and enemas don't help because that is not where the problem for us is. Even my other medications I am taking I have a difficult time taking because everything takes so long to digest . A lot of people , even doctors don't understand this complication very well . My GI dr told me if I can travel outside of USA for treatment he would recommend it . I have been to turkey and they have some excellent medical facilities as well as the gastric pacemaker . I am still considering getting one there but need to see who in the states can follow up with me . I am tired of liquids , feeding tubes , vomiting and weakness. It is the one issue that causes me the most misery and the most issues with blood sugar control [/QUOTE]
