Its been since Tuesday and no bm. I have passed gas and burped but no lovin. Been walking a lot and gettin water and milk in. Even tried decafe coffee.... What to do

Same here, girlfriend. ????????????

Constipation can be a difficult problem after surgery. After several months after surgery I developed this complication. After trying several stool softeners that gave me no relief, I finally resorted to inserting a glycerin suppository up my rear end every three days. Obviously I did not want to make this fix a permanent thing. I stumbled onto a simple fix. I found that if I ate an apple before I retired for the night, I would have a good BM the next morning. The trick is that you must also eat the skin of the apple. This approach has worked for me for over a year.

Constipation can be brought on by a lack of fluids, so make sure that you are meeting the requirements in this department.

Other suggestions on past threads for this problem are:

Smooth Move Herbal Tea

Prune juice (warmed)

Prunes (4 in the morning and 4 at night)

Magnesium citrate

Insoluble fibers (Garden of Life Raw Fiber or Renew Life Triple Fiber).

Haribo sugar free Gummy Bears

Aerobic Magnesium 07

Low Fat Bran Muffin (recipe). 80 calories each

1 cup flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon cinnamon

2 cups bran Cereal

1 ¼ cups milk

1 egg

½ tablespoon applesauce

optional: banana, berries, mini chocolate chips

Bake 400° F for 22 minutes

I took mirelax for 3 days, then added milk of magnesia for the next 2. Finally, success. It gets better. Coming off of pain meds helps too because narcotics cause constipation.

Haribo gummies are my favorite, but never knew the sugar free ones worked like that. Hmm...

Same boat here I take a stool softer but I'm lucky if I go once or twice a week. Ugh

Best. Reviews. Ever! I'm stll laughing! It might actually be worth trying if you could control it.

Metamucil probiotic!! Has me going everyday now!

Anyone know if it's safe to take Ex-Lax?

Miralax when I'm in real trouble otherwise Benefiber daily does the trick.

I have gone from not being to go to uncontrollable pooping. Uggg
