could not having a bowel movement but once a week lead to weight gain? thanks!
thank you so much for your response. i will have her try this and see if it helps her. i will let you know when i find out from her if it works. thanks again.
Okay, listen, up until 2 months ago, I had tried EVERYTHING for constipation relief and saw 3 different gastroentologists and nothing helped. For the past 8 years I was totally dependent on harsh laxatives (daily) and liquid glycerin enemas (also daily). I also took fiber supplements 3 times daily. Then 2 months ago I saw an ad on TV for the Kellogg's All-Bran 10 Day Challenge for regularity. It took a few days to start working, but all I can tell you is that it works like a miracle for me. I eat it every single day (day or night), usually with a banana, and I just about panic if I can't find it at the store (so I buy 2 boxes at a time). I also take 2 Fibercon supplements once daily and 1 Acidophilus capsule nightly (promotes intestinal health). I probably could just do with the cereal, but I'm scared to change anything since it's working so well. I buy the Kellogg's All-Bran Original by the way. If she's willing to stick to the plan for at least 10 days and not give up, I think she'll get good results. Good luck and please let me know if this helps.
sorry for the late response. she is 22. she says she has little pain, and so far it does not bother her that much. i say she has a problem, but doctors can find no explaination so far. i think she needs fiber pills. i have told her to go to the clinic... she is a single mom, 4 month old. any suggestions??
Bowel movement every three to four weeks? This is correct? This is extreme constipation and could be dangerous. If all that stool dries within the bowel, it can get impacted - only a surgery can solve this then.
She should see a doctor. How old is she?
