Bathroom Problems

[meganmom 169]

So this is a little uncomfortable talking about but I need help!!! I have not used the bathroom in 5 days. It is starting to hurt. I have tried and taken Miralax and nothing. What should I do?

Did you drink a lot of Water with the Miralax?

[meganmom 169]

Yes I do!

I tried milk of magnesia and it helped within hours.

When did you had your surgery?

[Rdsegobia 121]

I take two tablespoons of ground flaxseed at night with 8-10 oz Water (at first I started with 4oz water). It was approved by my doctor at my 8 weeks post op. That made a big difference no problems going to the bathroom at all.

I used to take it in the morning but know I changed it to the night which works better for me.

I had to use a suppository, it helps within an hour.
