Help. Can't poop. What can I eat to help?

[crystalfresh]

Not sure I have constipation as in hard stool but it doesn't want to come out for days. I have tied many many laxatives and no luck. It's like there is no lube in my colon. I eat lots of fiber but that's not working. I need something to add lube when I digest my food. Most of the natural fibers work but result with irritation that makes me have to stop. The worst thing that can happen is I get an upset stomach and I stop eating or taking what you suggest. But I don't know what else to try. Can anybody recommend a food or something to add in to my diet to help me poop? Thank you.

Hey Sarah, where are you buying fibre primvital? I heard about this products, most of people recomended them spectacular results. Say smth more:)

I had similar problem with poops, every day I had pain around my belly. I was searching for some products for detox and I found smth called Fibre Primvital. For 2 months every day I used this natural grains and now I can say that finally I not worry about my metabolism. Iam living my life with fool of energy!

Ive joined this to tell my story which is on going.  I have tried everything and I mean everything for constipation and nothing works.  Ive cut foods out taken extra supplements you name it and nothing.  Its not that my stools are always hard they can be both but still I can not push it out.  I strain and strain and nothing works so Ive  had to help myself for the last few years and now I cant go at all without doing it.  I have to push it out using my thumb from the front back until it all comes out.  Its easier when its hard but when he stools are soft its hard work getting it all out without it hurting.  Ive been to the docs who said I would have to sit on a commode after taking a laxative and show what happens.  I dont need to i keep telling them I have tried all the laxatives going and nothing.  Even with diorhea i still cant get it out and then the pain is that intense that I have to do it myself again.  I do need help but not sure what they can do.  I must admit though once I have relieved myself theres no pain.  I dont even get the stomach ache to go I just get bloated or when Im having sex I feel I need to go so have to excuse myself else I might have an accident.  Thats the part which is really worrying me now.  If theres any docs on here please tell me what can be done.

..get it checked out..I concur with dottie500.....if packed bad see your doctor...as they can help..root rooter..(gently) if a large hard bolus is there ...you do NOT want to dig and dig and end up with inner hemorrhoids or fissures....don't continue to strain...some people make hard hard stools that block the above stool and these are dangerous...so (keep a diary and you can relate YOUR habits to your doctor better...and you can state what you have tried) ..I will add this to the above suggestions...I take oral docusate sodium 100mg.....regularly..they recommend 1-3 caps daily to begin then take less as stool softens..as it will make new stool softer...nerves innervate the entire intestine and you may feel bloated or full yet you are ? ..Extra liquids with gas-x..for a day or so after a difficult BM helps me as does preparation H ointment..just massaging your abdomen a few minutes a day helps..websites referring to bowel habits help..blessings

I strained and ended up with diverticulitis - - I had a diverticuli bleed and Doctor in hospital put me on Miralax when needed - a stool softener - - I take if I have not gone for three days - - the other is a elderly wise Doctor from Europe told me that he has always advised his patients to take a small  cup of warm prune juice - and that really worked for me - - ANY BOWEL irregularity do get it checked it out - colonoscopies are not as bad as some say - my daughter had UC - and now has colon cancer - so DO NOT WAIT

Colonoscopies are hell. Just had one. That's why I can't go, now! Haven't gone for almost a week. : (Interesting blog! I have diverticulosis, too, btw).
