testimonial but another problem :(

I haven't posted for awhile, I have been doing real well. In the past I had posted about achey joints, costochondritis, and bakers cyst. I bought Walts book, read it three times, and I am proud to say I have had no problems with costochondritis in well over 2 years, no achey joints except when I over exert myself and the bakers cyst is still there but has NOT 'ballooned' in almost 5 years!!! I have been doing wellness for the past 2 years and doing great. But I do have one problem. It's bowel troubles. I'm close to 50 and not sure if my colon/intestines are becoming sluggish. Foods do affect them but that's not too bad, this is tolerable. I'm just careful what I eat. For the past few months I have been dealing with straining to have a bowel movement almost everyday. Most days the stool is semi soft or hard. What irritates me is I will get the urge to have a BM, sit down and strain and go. Not much but I go. On other days I strain and its a normal BM. On the days when I don't go all that much I will eat or drink something hours later and get a slight urge and small hard stool comes out. At nighttime I will drink a lot of water of have a snack, again a slight urge, like pressure, strain a bit and another stool, usually about the size of a meatball, little smaller. I never feel I have totally emptied after the morning BM and I get tired of straining. Am I constipated? Oh one other thing, after a movement I have a terrible itsc, I think I may have a small hemmorhoid, it feels like theres a very small lump at the tip of my anus. I use Preparation H itch cream and it helps a lot. Mainly the itching is after a BM occasionally and sometimes the itch comes on fast when I'm just sitting here. I checked for parasites and saw nothing. Had a physical 3 months ago, no polyps, blood etc.. If anyone can help I will read all answers. Becca
