I do know that Vicodin causes C. Unfortunately, its one of the few pain killers that don't upset my tummy more. I up my dose of miralax to counteract the C effect of the vicodin. The pain isn't from C. If I go more than 2 days without a BM, I'll take a Zelnorm and that will give me D and clean me out! Eww, sorry, tmi!
Anyway, thats the frustrating part, WHAT is CAUSING so much pain??? I still do the diet, usually I can tolerate a lot of insolubles but when I get bad like this, I stick to basics. The bloating is terrible. I struggle most everyday with a least a little bloating but this is ridiculus!! My tummy is physicaaly bloated THREE and a HALF inches. Now that may not sound like a lot and it actually feels more like twelve and a half inches! My clothes are killing me and I don't wear tight clothes to begin with. Even my "fat" pants feel tight!
Right now, I use one spoon of Acacia in the morning mixed with my Miralax. I have been taking some sort of fiber supplement for about 8 years now. Last night I was so fed up I really took a lot of pills trying to break this darned pain cycle. I had taken a Xanax in the morning and a Vicodin about 10am. I had taken 3 donnatal's during the day. When I got home at 6:30 last night I took two vicodin and a donnatal. At 8pm I took two Xanax. Boy, I slept well!! I haven't taken any of the Xanax or Vicodin yet today but did take a donnatal. My tummy is a little better than it has been but I'm still sitting at work with my pants unbuttoned!  And it still hurts.  I think I'm going to call the dr and make another appoitment. I'm going to ask her about increasing the zoloft and I need a refill on the Donnatal. I'll see if she has any other idea's on what to try. I know it will get better eventually but I'm going on almost 6 weeks no and enough is enough!
