Constipation Relief???

[figuerpa]

Ok everyone, this is a topic I dont like to discuss but I need some serious help. I asked my doctor for some stool softener and it seemed to be helping for a couple of days, then all of a sudden it won't work. I know it is there and ready to come out but it won't. I have pushed until my hemmoroids are starting to act up.

I am in a real need here. I am about to go get an enema to help me but if there is anything I can do to not have to do that I would like to try it, if I don't go soon I am going to explode.

LOL thanks for reading and hopefully i can get some relief soon.

The FOS club!

I am so happy to hear you have finally found relief and I would believe you have lost lbs after all that!

When you get your formula, stick with it baby!

Lisa,

LOL my dad use to always tell me I was full of sh@t. Thanks for the laugh.

I found my relief and I am sure I have lost 5 pounds from it lol, ok well not really but sounds good. I got some suppositories to try first and it took a couple of days but I finally got some serious relief.

So hard to have these problems, but yet me must go on and find out what works for us.

Thank you :)

According to my boyfriend, I'm full of $hit and there's no remedy for that. I'm so fortunate.

I thought I'd give you laugh. (hope so)

I know what its like to be full like that.  In fact, I had a CT Scan about 9 months ago and was told the impression of the scan was, "Patient is full of stool".  Nice huh?  Something my boyfriend knew already without the CT Scan. Heh.

You know you will find your niche in regard to aid your bowel regimen to an acceptable level.  It's finding that mix that will help YOU and you alone.  Lord knows you have a plethora of remedies to choose from.  

I hope the discomfort and timely evacuation will soon come to an end!  (Pun sort of intended).

Another option for occasional relief is liquid magnesium citrate. It comes in 8 oz. bottles and you can get it over the counter. The advantage here is that you drink it :-) In about 30 minutes it thoroughly clears things out.

Julie,

Thank you,

I do eat lots of fruits and veggies and drink about a gallon of water a day. I have been on Weight Watchers for some time and I am down 40 pounds so water and fruits and veggies are not a problem for me.

I am going to work on things to help me keep going.

Eat lots of veggies!  Veggies (especially the green ones) not only have lots of good vitamins for you but they for the most part have natural fiber in them. That, with a generous amount of water consumption on a regular basis will keep you normal.
