Hi I am new to this board. I am having a terrible problem with obsessive thinking shutting down my bodily urges to have a bowel movement. I can feel my anus close up. I have tried a lot of herbs & laxatives which don't seem to work anymore. I can't afford to eat fibre because I am so bloated from not going. I am afraid to use drugs because they all have constipation as a side effect. I try to divert my thinking while I am on the toilet but that isn't working much anymore. Does anyone have any ideas on how to stop the obsessive thinking & what else can be used to stimulate my bowel into moving. Thanks
