Do any  of u find u have problem with constipation

[johnny679]

Try drinking freshly made juices , carrot , celery , tomotoe , and so on if you drink a few a day it will help with constipation as well as being good for your liver , helps energy levels also you alot harder to get sick , colds etc . If you still struggle have a extra juice try and stay away from fruits in juices so much sugar , but pace yourself or it could  be niagra falls

My Dr told me not to take any over the counter meds unless I call his office and ask which ones . So all I did was Fiber he said that is ok. He told me no over the counter vitimans. Kinda weird one Dr gives one patient permission to take OTC and others says no.

I take a fiber supplement but its also important to take probiotics and lots of water. veggies and fruits stay away from all others, you need protein so use soy or soy powders. take a multi vitamin. and good luck to you. I developed hemorroids cause of the stupid treatement so don't force. take care

Fiber is good, you may also wish to try massage in the morning before you eat or get moving.

Please guys, lets leave the religious aspect out of this.
We aren't supposed to discuss religion or politics.

Feeling blessed or thanking God is fine, but its best to let it go at that.
This forum is for everyone and it's about hep C, not about our beliefs.

I KNOW God sent me here. I thank him and trust him with my life he is my savior

[mykids247]

I agree that someone brought me to this web site. With out it I wouldl not have found my Dr, and who knows what the outcome would have been, a lot of very informed, intelligent wonderful people here just wanting to share and give support. So nice to be able to talk to someone who really understands. Was it god who brought me here?? Think So!  :) And i thank him everyday for so many things.

[bbj2856]

Well I personally think God sent us here to give each other moral support and try to help each othr get through each day. Some days are bad ones some are not so bad. I know the ones that have talked to me have encouraged and helped me so very much. I also think God know what we all need  before we need it  . I  know with out him  I am nothing.
Love you all
God Bless

What reason would that be?

More and more I think we've been sent to pick-up take out.

[GoofyDad]

I had it bad. As I put it at the time, each movement was like passing a jewel-encrusted eggplant through a garden hose. There's an OTC stool softener (colasce??) that might help. Try fiber, etc. But nothing did much for me except going  ooooh-oooh-oooooh when I went poo-poo-poo..

[ChrisDDD]

God sent us all together for a reason?  What reason would that be?  I really am just curious.

[bbj2856]

I got some fiber pills today added them . I am drinking a lot and vegies an fruits is my main diet . I seldom before or now eat meat.
You all are so very nice here God sent us all together for a reason . We all know what that is .  Advocate you are so good at helping  to answer our questions.

GodBless you all

Hi bbj2856, I think you are on SOC, about 4 weeks in, right?  I don't remember my husband complaining of constipation when he was on SOC.  I would suggest following flcyclist's recommendations for a week or so and see if that helps.

At the beginning of trt, yes, but not longer.  Be sure to drink plenty of water and try to increase the amount of fruits and veggies in the diet.
