Let me add my "GUT" story to this thread...
I had had constipation problems all my life.. my daughter does too
we learned what caused it
I had a hysterectomy and when most women have fibroids on the intereior.. I had htem both interior and exterior... the exterior ones adhered my colon and organs to my uterus.. it required emergency surgery after they opened me up ... becaues they started as a vaginal hysterectomy... I was 8 hrs in surgery with 7 doctors ..4 who were called in as an emergency.. I nearly died.. They had to sever my colon, bladder from my uterus.. they had grown together.. this is what was probably causing the slowing of the colon... and causing the constipation..
After the removal of the uterus, they had a specialist patch my colon... there were dozens of cuts all over like a gun shot wound.. Later my colon did not heal and caused a fistual between the colon to the vagina.. women's colons are attached to the vagina. A fistual is a tiny hole.. this caused body wastes to excrete from my vaginal area.. I had to wait 5 months to see if it would heal on its own and in the mean time I had to clean my vaginal area from the leaky stool..
I had to recover from my near death hysterectomy. 6months later they operated on my colon.. took out one foot where it was attached to my uterus... and re connected it.. It worked... but also my scare tissue adherred to my bladder and other organs butnot my kidneys.. they were able to cut part of the bladder. .it was large enough.. (Hey I went to Catholic School we learned to hold it in.. that gives us large bladders )

Now I do not have constipation.. but I do have stomach problems and take Nexium...
I am told that aspies have stomach problems .... so this just fits into the entire picture..
Hope you were not eating any meals
