Sooo I haven't gone to the bathroom in a week. Any suggestions? I've been taking miralax but it doesn't work too well for me.

Milk of magnesia worked for me and recommended by my doctor

I take benefiber every morning and it has helped

Try an enema. Be prepared to stay in the bathroom for 20-30 minutes, but then you're done.

I ended up in the ER the day after my birthday because I hadn't gone in a week. Long story short, two enemas later I was able to go. Turns out I have an enlarge prostrate and that can cause problems with BMs. Good luck to you.

Take a stool softener daily

Where can I find this? Also the benefited hurts my stomach and makes me nauseas. I do use wnema every few days because it's so bad

You should be able to get it at any drug store, Walmart, Target, Meijers, K-Mart, etc.

Will look for this today!

This might be silly but...I had this problem and tried Miralax...nothing...Dr recommended benafiber...nothing. The thing that seemed to work the best for me was...chewing. 20-30 chews per bite..I know it sounds silly but I haven't had a problem since.

Can be found an any store in the laxative section, if you have trouble ask a store associate

Make a spinach and prune smoothie with grapes

I went through major problems and I think I tried it all. What worked the BEST for me was a laxative tea. I drank it at night and by the morning, I was going. It didn't give me any cramps or discomfort.... I was shocked that tea worked better than all the fibers and miralax etc.

Finally went thank you all [emoji4]
