I am constipated to the point of sickness. I used milk of magnesia and its not working. I feel like I have to go but just can't get it out. Don't mean to be gross, just want some advice. PLEASE

I can relate- thought i was going to have to go to the ER last week. MOM doesn't work for me. I emailed my surgeon and he called back told me to take one to two tabs of senna s at night and also if needed mirilax. I would go and get some mirilax right away if you are feeling sick. You might want to consult with your surgeon first. I also have increased my liquid intake and am trying my best to find more fibrous foods as I am only in soft portion of diet (4 weeks out). Surgeon's office reminded me to get in fruits and veggies as this should also help....

Thanks, I have a call in to the surgeon. I am terrible about my fluids but have kicked it up today in hopes it will help.

I hope it helps too. I always think it is best to ask surgeon. Good Luck-I completely understand your misery. It is awful and I never want to be that constipated again!!

I use Mirilax daily. I just mix it with my water and crystal light. Works great and not harsh.

That's what the nurse suggested as well. I'll give it a try. I'm actually doing better since my second dose of mom. Thanks for the advice everyone!

I had horrible pain because of constipation landed me in the ER.. I had to take mom and colace...also I used a heating pad on my tummy ..it helped moved things along

I use Miralax once a day and in some days twice. I add it to cold Water and it works just fine. Good luck
