Constipation! help

I haven't gone in 3 days! I have been going every other day and feel bloated and gassy. I have prunes every day and it had been helping with every other day. What can i do or am i panicking? Just feeling worried. Thank you in advance.

I use innulin fibre ( clearly fibre from shoppers drug mart) or loblaws 'exact' brand. I mix it with my water and drink it throughout the day, it really helps. 

No, you're not panicking. I have suffered from this postop also. Just stay on top of it. I currently take benefiber 3X per day & 3 stool softeners very night just to go most days. If you do decide to add fiber supplements, start slow. Good luck!!

Where in the heck are you buying Benefiber at?? I thought  they stopped making it. I use to put it in my shakes and it was great--now in the part of Michigan I live in I can't find it any where. It was a BIG help with my diverticulitis.

 

They advertise it like crazy here! Have you looked on Amazon?

Thanks-I'll check with Amazon RIGHT now !!!

 

I actually use the store brand for it

MIRALAX - - - is the BEST Thing in the World!!! its even Safe for Small Children! Yaaay!!! I have stirred 1 Tsp into my morning cup of Coffee from the very beginning! you can get it at Costco ( their brand ) and its a lot cheaper... but its Great!!! you can also buy it at Walmart ( their brand too ) and you CAN take a Whole Capful the 1st day Only If You Really Need It... but then just 1 little teaspoon a day in ANY drink! its totally tasteless... You Will Love It!!!

Are you taking any probiotics? I take Bariatric Advantage Probiotic chewables once per day, started about 3 weeks ago. They have kept me very regular even with taking 60mg elemental iron every night.
