HELP!! Constipation!! :(

Does anyone have any help tips for constipation... I'm already there...and now I need help. Thanks EL

Hi El, I have had that problem for months. Can only say drink tons of fluid. I also take stool sofeners every day. If it gets real bad you will just have to try a laxative or enema. But the fluid and softeners usually work for me. Good Luck, Soos

Thanks Sandra and Soos... Things got better this early evening... I am going to take a stool softener for a bit now.. I REALLLY appreciate the advice!! El

Hi Elizabeth, I recently went 9 days without going. I was miserable and my stomach looked like bloated roadkill! I'm sure it was from lack of water as I have to force myself to drink anything. So I started with VERY warm hot tea the first thing each morning. And I dug out the flaxseed I ordered before my July surgery and began adding that to cottage cheese, oatmeal, etc. It worked. Now I use about 2 teaspoons of flaxseed a day and haven't had any problems. Happy pooping! Sherry

Elizabeth, I take psyllium husk pills or Benefiber chewable tablets twice daily. As others have said, drinking lots of water is important, as is daily exercise. Best of luck. Kasey 365/215/195 (nonop)
