My wife has always had type 1 on the bristol chart, 1 or 2 pebbles and once a day. doesn't eat large volumes. had a clear colonoscopy. weight gain and bloating. has tried all types of diets and exercise. is it possible her body is absorbing it all?

Gastroenterologist: She most likely has irritable bowel syndrome with subtype of chronic constipation. If the usual remedies of adequate fluid intake, good amounts of fiber and or supplements like psyllium and taking of bowel stimulant combined with stool softener like daily senokotS don't help, consult a gastroenterologist who may prescribe one of the newer medications for her type of irritable bowel syndrome.
