First go to a doctor if it as bad as you say. They will adive you on any futher action.
However the proper diet is usually key to solve constipation problems. To help my constipation I usually eat the following foods to help me. Of course not all of them in one sitting – wholemeal bread covered in honey or jam, weetabix, fruit – apples are especially good, hard boiled eggs.
Also natural remedies such as Senna will help too. You can get them in tablet form from most shops.
I hope that helps. I hope it gets better soon.
laxatives but only once in a blue if it happens aloy you may have a health problem best advice ask the doctor
try eating more fiber. Also, start drinking prune juice ASAP. Just start by drinking 2 8oz glasses a day until your bowel movement has normalized.
Every morning eat one full apple along with skin. That is cut it but do not peel. After that take a big glass of water. You will be amazed.
hOPE YUO’RE NOT IN AGONY WHILE WRITING YOUR WOES. aNYWAY NEXT TIME AFTER DELIVERING YOUR LOADS, YOU BETTER TAKE MORE FIBER FOODS, FOR YOUR WATER .DRINK DISTILLED WATER , AND LESS BANANA,
Eat better for one fiber is important they should have some over the counter fiber you can but it some water and drink. Drink it regularly and it should do the job. If not you should see a doctor there might be other problems besides just simple constipation.
If the over the contour medicine is not working you should really go to the doctor so that they can give you something that will work for you.
drink a gallon of milk or as much as you can ,see what happens the next am. bring an extra roll of paper with you
for real hydration you need to drink eight 8oz glasses of water a day, not two 8oz ones.
Eat plenty of fiber. Lay off the junk food. Your parents were right.
See a doctor and the right laxative for you.
Is it just constipation, or do you get diarrhea too? If you do, I recommend getting checked for irritable bowel syndrome.
Make sure you drink lots of water and include fibre in your diet, try a bowl of bran flakes for breakfast- this helped me a lot.
At one point I cut cheese out of my diet and that helped a lot. Another thing to try is when you eat something greasy like pizza or fast food take a tums after you eat. It helps settle the grease in your stomach and helps with your gas and bowel movement the next day. Tums came out with "smoothies" tablets and they’re actually kind of good. I carry some in my purse all the time.
it’s okay, it will take time though to get ‘regular’… begin taking medicumil (sp?) or benefiber or something like that in regular doses, and start drinking more liquids like water.. eat more veggies and fruits (apples with skin!) and bran cereals. don’t overload but do change your diet. it will take time but eventually you will be able ot start getting off the fiber supplements and just eat a healthy diet (dont’ worry some junk food is fine!) and make sure you go everyday.
I would suggest trying to stay away from dairy for a while and see if that helps you out. Eat foods higher in fiber and drink more water. Stay away from carbonated drinks and caffiene if possible. If it doesn’t get better, I would suggest a trip to the gastroenterologist for a checkup. You may have a prolapse in your intestine and that will keep it from moving through and will cause a great deal of pain. Straining can cause diverticulosis and if that gets infected you’ll really hurt from the diverticulitis. Colon health does not get enough press time and it’s one of the things that can kill you pretty quick. You don’t have to live with it and over the counter remedies are not a long term solution.
you need more fiber! try putting some benefiber in your cereal or yogurt or something. It should help soften you up. try to stay away from things like bananas as they will harden your feces. you should see a doctor as well because the longer yoru feces sits in your colon the more likely you are to someday have colon cancer as well as to reabsorbe the toxins. this could be a serious problem get HELP!
