my sister's bf needs help....?

Question

My sister's bf is having trouble doing #2. He says everytime he eats it hards him, cus it backs up in his colon. He has went to the hospital and they have gave him meds, but when he finished them it comes back. What can he do so he doesnt have to go to the hospital every time. Like a home remendey.

Answer 1

He needs to adjust his diet and include alot of fruit and vegetables. Fiber in fresh fruits and veggies will help with constipation. Also, he needs to increase his water intake, because water is absorbed in the colon and will keep your bm's soft. He can take Metamucil, which is just fiber every day. Keep away from caffiene, junk foods and colas. Exercise will also help with the activity of the colon. For immediate relief, try some warm prune juice...it works wonders! Godloveya.

Answer 2

Going to the hospital and getting pain meds doesn't necessarily help because most are hard on the stomach and cause constipation. Before taking them he should ask if it does cause this. Try senokot-s. take the max dose the first day and then one a day after, drink alot of water and add fiber to the diet. Also i would suggest he go to his family doctor to find out if there is an underlying problem.

Answer 3

Stool softeners and fiber tablets will help. A good diet would be better but sometimes that doesn't work either. Tell him to get the plain stool softeners (without the stimulant additive) and something like Citrucel for the fiber.

Answer 4

Senna Lax. Been on it 3 years, as my medicines for arthritis cause hard dry stools.

Answer 5

Have him try a stool sofener or Miralax and take it twice a day to start....there is also bisacodyl tabs and fleets phospho soda!
