I do feel full when I get an attack, but it was not necessarily from being impacted. I did feel crappy haha my mom's friends said they always new I was full of sh@t but now they no it's true. Ha ha. So punny! It can be a symptom of IBS and this is actually how I found out I had IBS with all the bloating and cramping. I think following a strict diet helps. I have not been impacted for a long time now. At least not that I know of. If you want to try something on your own, this is what I had to do to get rid of it. I drank 1 whole bottle of Magnesium Citrate, the lemon flavored kinda tastes like a sprite, then I did one enema every hour for 6 hours until I felt like I was cleaned out. you can buy the self administered enemas at most pharmacies. You might want to consult a doctor about this but it definitely helped me. Another thing you can try that is a MIRACLE at getting you cleaned out is Castor Oil, Orange Juice, and some baking soda. Drink while it is foaming, and I promise you will be cleaned out! It is so nasty to drink, but it works! And in this case, I don't think taste should matter to you!
