I thought for sure I was dying the 1st time it happened to me. Had to use an enema, works immediately. I take iron supplements so drinking plenty of water & 2-3 apples a day helps. I prefer to take least medicine as possible so I won't take the colace.

I've drank the juice and it makes me want to vomit! I may pick up some softeners to help make things better, they are safe right??

Grab a few prunes and wait a day. They never fail for me. The only way i can stmoach them is with some peanut butter on top. Even the juice gags me

I'm in the same boat sister...the pain is crazy! smoothies help me a lot, but I can only keep them down 50% of the time. Dulcolax helps a little too. Good luck!
