Severe constipation (on day8)

Anyone else having this problem. I'm using Colase religiously! Makes it twice as hard to get my nutrition requirements. I was told to use Milk of Magnesia. Fingers crossed! I am miserable!

I keep Phillips milk of magnesia in my refrigerator....if not It will be every 7 days for me.....i get the big bottle and take the plastic tip for dosage and fill it to the top. It will work within 2 hours. I do this twice a week

Miralax was the wonder cure for me.

Thank you! Hope I can eat/drink better after!

they also make Dulcolax stool softener suppositories. Those worked pretty good for me. It's worth a try.

MOM worked for me.... I tried Colace and took 3 pills and then two days later took more NOTHIN

I am having the same problem and I am 6 weeks out. My doc told me yesterday to be taking a fiber supplement every day like FiberCon. He said to use the Smooth Move tea and the dulcolax pills. If absolutely necessary I could use the suppositories as well.

I have this terrible problem. To the point of being in bed due to hemorrhoids because I had to deliver a huge hard ball!! I was told Miralax everyday and to increase the amount if needed, until I am going on a regular basis and it's soft. I tried the colace and colace with senokot and prunes and everything else. I was scared that all of the sudden I would have diarrhea but I am happy to say that the Miralax seems to be the answer for me. Good luck and if you do get into trouble. The doctor ordered cortisone suppositories and they worked wonders for the hemorrhoids.

I suffered through severe constipation for almost 3 weeks at one point. At this point go buy an enema, if its severe enough it might take 2 or 3. (3 in my case) What I do now is eat a lot of almonds and the fiber from them has really helped me stay regular. I hope this helps.
