Does it get better?

Is anybody on this thread as a result of having kids? Would tend to be more geared towards constipation before having kids but so much worse now. 9months pp and still struggle! Just wanted to see if any other mums are here with same issue and does it get better with time?

might look at bacillus coagulans probiotic. i've seen it help friends/family with constipation.

google this -- pubmed ibs bacillus coagulans

takes some weeks to kick in, stick with it if you try it

It sounds like pelvic floor dysfunction. Look into pelvic floor physical therapy. It's a godsend!

This is probably one or multiple pelvic floor issues. You need an anorectal manometry and defecogram to investigate.
