OMG... Is there a Doctor in the House??

For a couple of days change your diet completely! Eat as much junk as you can fity into your tummy. Your body wont like the sudden change and you will be going potty again, do this for about 1 week and then go back to your normal lifestyle. This happens to me quite regularly and as soon as I change my diet all is well again with the works!

Stool softener and laxatives. Apples. Sorry for the generic comment but I'm WAAAAAY behind on my friends posts but want everyone to get their pennies, so here I am. Hi and Happy Holidays if we don't cross each others paths before then.

Sweetie! You shouldn't be embarrassed because going to the bathroom is a fact of life. If we didn't go, we won't live. It's as simple as that. So don't be embarrassed over something that society put such a stigma on, ok? Now, it's ok to take a laxative every now and then to clean your system out. What they mean by it not being good for you is to not take them every day or even once a week if you can help it but maybe once every two weeks to a month is ok. Nothing at all wrong with that however, I do have another suggestion for you, try milk of magnesia. It's what my mom takes and she says it relieves her a great deal so try that first then if that doesn't work, a laxative will.

Hey momma! I have the same problem from time to time! And I just let nature take its course! There are some stool sofeners that you can take like Dulcolax that isn't a laxative and is pretty much natural. I was told about it when I was in the Hospital, but I wouldn't let them give it to me! It is sold over the counter. I have friends who have the same problems too and we all eat veggies and fruit and have no idea why we have these problems! So as I said, just let nature takes its course and you should be fine. Sometimes our systems just get slightly out of wack for whatever reason and then gets itself back on track again all by itself! So you are not alone and it isn't that abnormal!

i think that is because of your type of food you eat .the fore most think you need to do is that you try other foods and see that might sort your problem

My grandmother use to use glycerine suppositories or vaseline balls. I know it sounds gross but it works. Just take a very small amount of vaseline and roll it in a ball and swallow it whole.

My son has that problem and we give him Miralax once a day. It is a stimulator and is very gentle. The doctor also told us that we could give him a tablespoon of milk of magnesia once a day, as it is not habit forming. Otherwise, the only thing I would know to do is drink lots of apple juice, eat dried prunes, or walnuts.

You must be feeling bad with a backlog of toxins in your system. Poor you. It seems you are doing everything absolutely right but at this stage I would go the laxatives. I was having severe lower back pain and not having lack of potty issues and my doc sent me for xrays and discovered a huge build up of gas. He put me on some high doses of laxative, senna and some thick white stuff I had to mix with hot water and drink several times a day. The results were...no more back pain. I don't know why you think you should not use laxatives. Certainly some people use them daily and unnecessarily but this is not the case here. Laxatives serve an important purpose. If you are still in doubt, go see your doctor. I go every day a couple of times but my daughter who is fitter and healthier than I only goes every second day.

I think you may have to take a regular fiber supplement to help move things along. I used to have the same problem a while back. I exercise more and try to take in as much fiber as possible. I tend to be regular now.

HI, where do you live? when I was in my country... i did every day but when I moved to the USA and it cold... it made me change my habit. same thing happened to you know, do once a week. and I didn't like that at all. so I bought some diet tea... it will make you do as long as you drink it. then you have to change your everyday habit... such as eating more vegetable... and drink more water, not milk. milk make me undo. and i dont know about other people. and you can get those diet tea from chinese store.. the package is green and it will say Diet Tea. hope it help

I am probably about 100 years older than you are, and you know how us elderly types are. But I have found that it helps me a lot to chew up two Fiber Choice tablets every day. Rarely have a problem as long as I remember to "eat" my extra fiber. They actually taste pretty good too. Best of luck to you.
