Constipation

[dwinette 21]

Yes, I can definitely relate...buying don't know how to fix it

Dulcolax helps me...and I've been trying Metamucil..I think it's trapped because it needs loosening

My problem is weird. It's not so much that I'm constipated, it's the the um, "trap door" isn't opening enough to empty. In other words, I'm ready to go, my body is ready to release, everything is in place but the valve won't open wide enough. I've NEVER had this problem. Can anyone relate and if so, any suggestions?

I know it's not pleasant but the fleet brand has glycerin liquid suppositories that will open the gate so to speak.

I will try that. Great idea!

Thanks so much for the suggestions! This has actually been the worst issue I've faced at 11 days post op.
