constipation

I'm 3 1/2 months out and never in my life been constipated, I'm constipated and very very uncomfortable, laxatives scare me so i took 2 stool softeners and drank a cup of coffee (even though I'm not supposed to). I've been walking as much as i can with the pain I'm in, and barely was able to bring myself to leave the house to get some prune juice and guava juice (I'm hoping to find some no sugar added guava juice that's actually real Guyana) I just can't believe how painful this is

    Try fresh pineapple not canned. The enzyme bromelain in it helps break down the protein we digest.

    Just want you to know I comiserate. Miralax is my best friend. I also take SS every day. Although at the moment I am not having the issue, due to my dumping episode this morning. That cure for constipation I do not recommend.

    It's funny i read your post earlier and thought good I'd love to poop but not cuz of that!!

    I just broke down and took some laxatives that are supposed to work over night. My mom have them to me, i said "they aren't going to make me sh** my pants in the night are they? She started cracking up, she's getting a good Kick out of this cuz she's not a regular bm person like i am, she things I'm being a big baby, but damn it, it hurts!! Of course by hurts i mean it's really uncomfortable :-)
