What The Sh*t...

Question

I can’t poop. It’s been about 5 days. I’ve tried water, exercise, way too much broccoli..... no poo poo 🤷🏻‍♀️ I took 3 turbo laxatives and the result was unimpressive.
Anyone else having poop-sues (rhymes with issues)? Have you found anything to get your innards moving?

Answer

On my. I have never related to something more. I’m lucky if I can go once a week. And it makes me MAD. Some days I know I would just feel better if I could go, but i can’t and nothing helps lol.

Answer

Magnesium is a miracle. It works for constipation, restless legs, and a little bit for headaches. My midwife said to take 400-600 mg before bed and dial it back if I got diarrhea... well I take 600 and no diarrhea.. but no constipation either anymore.

Tinned pears were a godsend on my breakfast with my first. This one, it helps but isn’t great. Good luck, it’s not comfortable.

I can only poop when I go to work 😩😂 weekends are horrible for me. And when I do poop it’s only a couple of turds (tmi) and it pisses me off 😩😩😩😩 I’m so damn backed up.

Answer

Dude... constantly. I have to take stool softeners every night, take milk of magnesia once or twice a week & do an enema every other week to break things up.  Thankfully my doc has approved all these things - considering starting the natural calm magnesium gummies to see if they help so I can stop with the enemas & milk of magnesia. 
I hope you get relief & soon!!

Answer

You need something with more fiber. I’ve been eating grapefruit, kiwis, apples, oranges etc. sometimes the iron In prenatals can back you up

Answer

I have started to eat an apple a day and if I eat an occasional salad too, that cleans me out.  Otherwise, I’m miserable.

Answer
