No movement..........

[istrum]

Hello,
After reading a lot of the complaints on this forum of people not having bowel movements for 3 and 4 weeks....I feel rather silly by saying I haven't had a movement in 8 days! This has been an on going problem since my reconnect from my last surgery. I had a colon resection back in 2004. I am a chronic user of Krystolose on a daily bases but still can not have a movement. Does anyone have  a suggestion on what I can do? I have never administrated an enema to my self but I guess there is always a first time. I feel like I have to go but because of the deadening of feeling back there I never know just where it is in my colon.
Thanks

Thanks for your response Pogo,
  I have tried Krystolose to no avail, it is in a powder form. I will try lactulose asap....I am getting real concerned. I know that all this constipation stems from my meds.....but I can't go off them. I live in Rhode Island and my surgeon is one of the best around. He has been inside me 5 times and knows his way around in there better than anyone. After my reconnect from a colostomy is when all this started.....First from the pain meds then from my daily meds. I have tried a fruit and veggy diet for a few days now but still no movement!
Thanks again for you concern,
istrum

I I never had a surgery like you had not yet anyway,Have you went to see your doctor yet,or did you ever tried Lactulose,is a liquid laxative it's a product u can buy at the pharmacy without a prescription,or you may have it by prescription to.You should ask your Dr. first.If you never use'd a rectal fleet ask someone to help u,I dont kno where u live but if I would be close I surely whould help u .But know with my condition I still dont have any bowel movement yet I have started to eat lask week  for 3 day's  then I had to stop because of cramp's belly aches, headaches ,nausea,backaches,I went back on clear fluid diet with [Ensure] I still did not go yet,I'm going to see my gastroentologist Thursday morning it's seem's so long I have tried all the procedure like a few fleet enama wait to hospital a few time they did fleet enema,there was hardly nothing came out,They did EX-Ray then did a CT-SCAN there was nothing there.I can wait to see my Doctor.If u need to talk please do I will sure try to help you pogo
