Constaption

 I have been Constapated since last tuesday. Is there anything that I can do. This has been the longest for me to not have a poop.  I want to go.

Colace is good as a stool softener.  Also can use Milk of Magnesium (MOM) or Magnesium Citrate.  Good Luck.

PS - Are you drinking your water and/or exercising? These are natures way of keeping 'things' moving.

I agree with Leann... Try those and get plenty of water in, and make sure you are walking.. I am only  11 days out, but have had to take (MOM) once to help me go..

I hope this helps..

Hugs,

Jenny,

I totally agree on water intake and walking and the MOM to help.  Pain meds are a necessary evil, as they can cause constipation.  But if you work on water and walking and MOM this should get the plumbing moving in the right direction.

Walking, drinking water a Dulcolax helped me.  Check your folder from Dr C.

Hi! Hope by now things are moving along more smoothly!

Get yourself a large container of glycerin suppositories. They were a life saver for me in the first few months.

I could not do MOM early out and colace didn't have enough umph (though I used it in conjuction with). Eventually my body got used to the changes and things move along all on their own :-)

Wishing you well,
Rachel

Miralax works pretty well for me.  I struggle with constipation on and off.  It was bad after my recent hysterectomy.

Good luck!

Here is what I do, and it keeps me very regular....

A heaping tablespoon of Benefiber in the morning with my coffee...don't get the one with calcium, it has a very bitter taste.

1 Sennakot tablet, or the generic equvalent. 1 Colace, or the generic equivalent. I do that twice a day, in the morning and evening.

I tell ya, it works!
