In opposition to above, You DO NOT stop taking medications that can cause constipation. What about the other reason, That is just nonsense. Now to take care of your constipation. Drink lots of water and eat foods that are high in fiber or use a fiber substitute like Benefiber or Metamucil. Since you have taken a laxative, you may want to try taking a laxative that includes a stimulant like Ducolax or Sennakot. These will help stimulate your colon to push it out. Also, i'm sure you have probably been straining to defecate since you have been stopped up for a week. You may want to try using a glycerin suppository as well as these ohter things to help lubricate your sphincter when your poo is on its way out. This way you will lessen the chance of causing hemorrhoids and it wont hurt so bad. Good luck, And drink lots of water :-)

I haven't tried it but I've heard that Super Colon Cleanse is great for restoring things to normal (no upset stomach). It has herbs in it and you take it over a period of a week or more. You can get it at some health food stores and gnc. Also eat lots of fiber (fruits, veggies and whole grains) and drink a lot of water every day.

I dont know if your a coffee drinker or not but get a real hot drink when you first wake up in the morning. Drink it as fast as you can. Not all of it, hell not even half, get a couple good gulps in there I bet you go. Or hell, even heat up prune juice, thats even better. Hope everything comes out alright.

I had the comparable issue whilst i became a newborn and teenager. you will get wiped sparkling out, yet once you permit your self get constipated lower back, it may come back. in case you're waiting to work out your generally happening scientific expert, you could attempt to scrub your self out with a tapwater enema. i'm no longer talking with reference to the small pre-measured Fleet form, however the style that contains a quart or 2 of heat water administered with an enema bag. you will get an enema bag at a pharmacy. this is nearly a warm water bottle with a tubing attachment. you could ought to ask the pharmascist to show it out for you. this form of enema could nicely be self-administered yet is somewhat bulky. you could could desire to ask a discern for some help. in case you will get a minimum of a quart of water on your colon, it is going to scrub you out and supply you some relief till you will see your scientific expert.

Try eating more foods with fiber and taking walks. Sometimes getting up and moving can help stimulate the bowels. If that doesn't work then you'll want to consult with your physician to see what other options they can offer you.

Don't eat cheese. Eat cereal with high fiber, some people say pineapple makes them loose
