Impacted Stool

[doordie 9]

Someone help me!! My NUT won't allow me to eat a tablespoon of coconut oil to help me go.....

I take 4 tablespoons Fiber daily, I take magnesium citrate, I drink 100-120oz Water a day, I eat two yogurts a day, I have 1oz fiber food a day with dinner (all my NUT allows at this point) and i liter had the mkst excruciating poop of my life. My pouch hurt for three days bc i couldn't poop and then I pooped a the biggest I have ever done....and now one day later I have more impacted Stool. I am trying fleet enemas and the nasty ole glove and finger but I can't take going through this again. The pain is horrific.

I suffered from an impacted stool during my weight loss. The only thing that gave me relief was to place a glycerin suppository up my rear. But stay close to the restroom when you do. At least this help in the short term.

Long term, Constipation can be caused by a lack of fluids, so stay hydrated.

These are some of the other recommendations from past post to relieve constipation.

Apples with the skin

Smooth Move Herbal Tea

Prune juice (warmed)

Prunes (4 in the morning and 4 at night)

Magnesium citrate

Insoluble fibers (Garden of Life Raw Fiber or Renew Life Triple Fiber).

Haribo sugar free Gummy Bears

Aerobic Magnesium 07

Ground Flax Seeds (but don’t try to grind it yourself). Use 2 tablespoons per glass of Water every night before going to bed.

1 cup flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon cinnamon

2 cups bran Cereal

1 ¼ cups milk

Maybe you are taking too much fiber? I know that sounds counterintuitive but I found taking fiber supplements made mine worse in the beginning. How far out are you?

Miralax helped me last week! And it's gentle so it won't give you painful "bathroom episodes". Only downside is because it is more gentle it may take a day or 2 to work... Good Luck!

Glycerin suppositories and dulcolax or peri-colace. Fiber didn't help me, either. Things got a little better when I stopped taking pain medication, but I still have to use suppositories every few days.
