Severe constipation or something?

Question

So, I can't crap at all, not even in the very least, without taking ex lax.
Anyway to solve this, or am I going to have to live on this stuff?

Answer 1

using a laxative is stopping the natural function of the intestines. You need to start taking Metamucil powder 1tsp., three times daily on an empty stomach with a large glass of water. This is going to start the natural functions working once again. Acidophilis capsules should be taken on an empty stomach three times daily. It's going to take time for you to get a balance back into your intestines.

Consume brown rice and oatmeal every day. These are high fiber foods that are going to help your intestines. Do this for at least one month. You should see a significant change at that point.

If it continues see your medical doctor.

Answer 2

Living on ex-lax is not good. Increase your water intake, fruits and vegetables. If this doesn't help contact your dr and advise them of whats going on. The Dr can prescribe some stronger laxatives, stool softeners or can prescribe Lactulose. Lactulose is taken daily and is suppose to help move the bowels.

Answer 3

First of all, taking too many laxatives is NOT good. You should see your doctor to make sure there is not a blockage problem.

Do you get enough natural fiber? If not there are things such as Benefiber which you add to foods to help. Also, your doctor can prescribe a fiber additive which helps.

Some meds. can cause constipation, such as Vicodin. Please see your doctor and do not try to take care of this problem without guidance,

Answer 4

just increase your fluid intake... water for that matter... and you may take cereals...... taking laxative is not good coz your tummy might be dependent to it... that you cannot pooo if you'll not take laxatives....
