Constipated?!

Question

So I'm currently trying to go #2 for the day and it feels like stuck and hard.. Sorry TMI, but I'm like trying to push and it's just so hard and hurts.. What should I do ? What will help me poo

Answer

Start drinking a ton of water. Drink. Drink. Drink! I am constipated all the time because of my medication, drinking lots of water is the only thing that allows me to keep everything regular. I know it sounds like obvious advice, but you would be suprised how often people forget to drink water.

Answer

If your stool is very hard and dry, you could try a glycerin suppository to help softeb it enough to pass. But you need to drink lots and lots water as others have mentioned.  Other things that help: high fiber diet and exercise (even walking)

Answer

I used to get really constipated a lot. Turned out I was lactose intolerant and didn't know it. And artificial sweeteners stopped me up too. If your constipation is as bad as mine was you might want to try saline enemas. You can get a pack of 3 at Walgreens for maybe $10. They're on the bottom shelf with the laxatives. It's like a douche for your butt. I would curl up on the bathroom floor on my knees, put in the nozzle (it's very small, smaller than a pinky finger, and doesn't hurt at all), squeeze the bottle, then immediately I'd have to jump up and sit on the toilet and hang on for dear life. It's just water and it softens that hard part that won't move. Plus the sensation of something in your butt stimulates your intestinal muscles. If you need immediate relief that will do it, guaranteed. Be close to the toilet when you do it because when it starts working it starts working RIGHT THEN!
