Constipation

[Strawberrymilkflump]

I haven't been to the bathroom since Monday and it's twenty past three in Wednesday. That's a long time since I usually go at least once a day even though it's painful and I have to strain etc.
I tried going yesterday even squatting on the floor since that's the only way I can go recently and nothing ! I have alotttt of trapped wind but I feel like I really need to use the toilet what can I do ?

Have you tried rocking back and forth?

Hi Strawberry. Have you tried fresh orange juice,grapes,prunes,drinking plenty of water or any laxatives from the docs/chemist.
Hope this gets better soon hun. Hugs

I can only echo fuzzy butterfly above. You could also try Syrup of Figs. Otherwise, try adding linseeds into your diet longer term as they draw water into the bowel to help maintain regularity.

Enema works well. They put me on glucose syrup for my comstipation trying to get that down its so sweet lol. Rocking back and forth like ron said also helps and like mandy said prunes helped me once and even a raw mango i tried everything lol

I wonder if a stool softener would help. Bananas might help abit and drink loads of water. When I had constipation from cocodamol I used to have a few hot wings as I react with fruit and veg really bad and although it made me bloated it did do the trick lol.

Lactulose helps me but I literally take it every day up to 30mls. I asked the gi nurse if it's okay to take it long term and she said yes. Hope you've relief soon. xx
