Haven't had a bowel movement for three days

[plagueius]

No poop for three days....Where is it going?

 

[ElaineH]

WOW! Can't say I ever remember being in that position! lol! If it's not causing you any discomfort tho.. I would say enjoy it!

 

[DannyB]

I bow down to you Steve... Make the most of that one and let us in on the secret! If i done that i'd be flying.

You may be starting to be constipated some of us crohnnies get it like me. I take miralx when I am backed up.

Good luck

I'm with Jeff on this one... ask your doc for some Miralax or try Colace (stool softener) generic name: docusate sodium. Drink LOTS of water, get moderate exercise and let nature take its course!

I've experienced both sides of the spectrum and neither are any fun... Running to the bathroom every 5-10 minutes is a pain in the butt (pun intended), but the thought of backing up and the posibility of experiencing fecal impaction sounds rather nightmarish in itself. I wouldn't mess around with it.

Best wishes!

Hi there

hope you managed to get things 'moving' again ... I'v had the same thing and it can be as bad as going to the bathroom all the time.

 

[Valentina]

ouch, hope you got things moving, and are feeling better now?

 

[kc0eks]

I can honestly say this has never been an issue for me. Though I can see how it could be troublesome...

1. Do not panic! Worrying about it too much can actually make it more difficult to go

2. Drink water... a lot of water! At least a litre (go for 2 though) is recommended.

Ask the doctor about a stool softener too or mild laxative, or some can even be purchased without a prescribtion.

Oh I also forgot about the poop walk. The poop walk always seems to make me take a crap. First off go to the hallway of your bathroom to make sure you make it in time. Next open up your legs so you are kind of walking like you are sitting on the toilet. Lower your butt and walk. In a minute it will all come out. At least for me that is.

Oh I also just realized I spelled Miralax miralx. Oh I feel stupid, I hate when I mis spell words.

Good luck man

Hi.

I too am having difficulties the same as you. 4 days now. I've taken stool softners twice, once after 24 hours of not going and again after another 24 hours of not going. Then I had a few pebble sized poops come out but that's it in 4 days!! I feel full of ****!! My stomach is swelled up. I don't hurt any worse than I normally do. I've been on a probiotic for about a month and a week. I'm wondering if it's the medication.

So I feel ya.

Call your doctor hun! It sounds to me like you are working on getting constipated. My doctor has me drink a bottle of the magnesium citrate if you get it in the lemon it's not so bad. It will clean you out. Talk to your doctor about probiotics and fiber to and try to get 8-10 glasses of water a day. Sorry you are feeling so bad.I have a tendency to go back and forth. Since starting the fiber and probiotics I have been doing better. Walkig will help move things too.

I usually go to the loo 4 to 8 times daily but I can become constipated the next day for no apparent reason.I have back ache and headache almost immediately.I agree with lots of water.I always have a full glass on the kitchen bench and drink up every time I enter then fill the glass again.Its a good habit to get into.I also keep a supply of soft licorace in my "stash" drawer and that works for me too.

 

[IAmTheWalrus]

Holy crap, you just revived a 6 YEAR OLD THREAD!!
