Constipation, maybe?

[jns1988]

So my nausea and vomiting have slowed down thanks to thw phengren because the zofran didnt do a thing. I was taking stool softeners to help with constipation and didnt help much at all. Finally my doctor said I could try Miralax. It worked about an hour later. Not as constipated as I thought I was but I was definitely full of gas. Here i am 3 days later and I have the same feeling. Its like I can feel my intestines slowly move the food but even liquids feel like they just sit there. Has anyone else had this problem? Should I try some more stool softeners? This is my 3rd and has been the hardest. Everytime I get a littlw better something gets a little worse.

Prune juice has always worked the best for me. Just like 8oz a day will help keep you regular!

The only problem is they tell me deink more water or eat more fiber but i literally struggle to eat everything. I literally eat 1 meal throughout the course of the day and fruit gives me the worst heartburn. I wish they would just put in a fedding tube lol

Have just had some issues with constipation too :( and my Dr suggested these foods to help if the stool softeners aren't working: prunes or prune juice, dried apricots and especially kiwi fruit. This is only my 2nd but I agree - I seem to be much worse this time around.

I will try that once I leave work. I made a big container of tea last night with a bit of lemon. Wish me luck.

Tea and miralax. I get horrid constipation. Also try eating flax seeds with water, take a walk, get up and move around. Good luck!
