Let's Talk Constipation!

[PhotoChic 70]

Ok, so I'm once again constipated! What are you using that can give immediate relief other than an enema .......Is anyone taking a daily stool softener to stay regular?

I've tried ducolax as fast acting reliever but this time it's not working! Sorry this is my wonderful early morning CONVO! Lol

Sorry I have been stop up a lot some times for days. Depends on how much I eat. To little no poop 800 caloies a day I go every day.

Try apple juice it's got a lot of natural sugar but will make you want to be close to a bathroom, or prun juice

Good luck

Hey Paul, had to resort to an en and Miralax, but today I'm drinking apple juice

Oops that should have been Miralax and an enema.

Did the apple juice help?

Did the apple juice help?

Eventually it did, but it took about three days along with mixing it with Miralax. I'm going regularly now.....YEAH!

This is good to know. Colace daily also helps

You can take Milk of mag for immediate relief. 6 hrs or so. I take 4-5 senakot tablets a day to keep me regular. They are half laxative half softener. I buy the generic at target.

Thanks I will keep that in mind.

This is what I discovered works for me: Prunes! I only eat about a serving and it has helped regulate my system. I was trying colace, and that helped, but wasn't working very well. I was having very bad problems and since I've been eating a serving of prunes a day, Constipation isn't an issue anymore. This may not work for everyone, but it helped me when medicine didn't work. Hope it helps you!

Miralax twice a.day is working for me

That's what stool softner I used and it seemed to work great. I haven't taken it in a few days and everything has been better. I still don't go number 2 very often. Like every 3 days or so. Are you drinking a lot of Water?
