Constipation & Pain

[Lynn Band 9/06 0]

I have been having consitipation with pain. :faint: I have been having roughage such as salad and veggies cooked very softly.

Has anyone had this and what do you do for it?

Try colace, not positive on the spelling, they sell it at Walmart and they sell a cheaper generic version that works just as well. Take a couple every single day even if you're not having trouble and it will make you regular again. I had 3rd degree burns 2 years ago and was on a lot of oxycotin, loritab, and stuff and it really makes you constipated and that's what my skingraft doctor put me on.

Mysherri,

Yes I do remember Colace from the birth of my daughter. Thanks. How are you recovering?

I use Benefiber once a day every day in my morning Protein Drink. I also take a small ducosate sodium once a week. It seems to be working.

I know...I am just like you. I'm eating better than ever before. Veggies etc. but still end up "not regular". I can't explain why my body is this way now. Any way...after I got the first "episode" taken care of, I decided to add metamucil to my diet. It has helped. Benefiber should help too, but metamucil just seems to work better for me.

However, if you have a severe problem then you may need to discuss it with your doc because it's not good to let this problem go for more than a few days...according to my doc, 3-4 days and you need to call them right away.
