Constipation help

[melaniecfan4ever]

The last two days I've been having really bad constipation and hard stool. Is this part of Help fare up? Help!

I find taking a stool softener pill like Colace with my vitamins every day helps with the hard stool.
Do you have any other symptoms?
How often do you suffer from constipation?

 

[melaniecfan4ever]

Thats the only symptom. I have sufferd from it all my life. Bk on 2009 I was in the hospital for it. And aa couple of weeks I had the same problem but it went away.

Have you tried experimenting with diet and drinking lots of water?
Have you spoken to your GI?

hey, are you on any iron supplements?
they can often really harden the stool.

[melaniecfan4ever]

No I'm not on iron suplments and that's a good idea

I mean is this normal? I got diagnosed with it bk of april of last year.

Constipation is something that comes with crohns. Do it may be fine, I would check with you Dr to make sure. X

I also suffer with constipation and have found that adding ground flax to my food helps move things right along. If you don't have problems with fiber, it's a great, natural option.

Ok I just got off the phone with the doctor and he increased my marlax intake including stool softeners. I really hope this helps

 

[guest78]

I hope so! It's good that you have spoken to your dr and they've taken action. Hope it all works out okay! X
