any ideas?

i have been constipated for a couple of days and ive tried otc stuff and ive been doin the miralax my dr told me to..is there anything else i can do? i dont want a bowl obstruction.. please help me, thanks

Many swear by having a Krispy Kreme. I'd add a lot of heavy cream too (either in a protein shake or whipped with some carbs).

a glazed one? just one or ??

One should get things moving.  I'd go for the one you'd enjoy the most given you're doing this on 'medical' grounds.  I'd want the cream to speed the carbs through and minimize gaz - my own unproven theory that fat helps the carbs sneak through with less bloating.

This thread may also help if you're really 'stuck'.  It's never come to that for me as fat and carbs have always worked for me. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/DS/4468068/Having-bad-cons tipation-I-thought-this-surgery-was-suppose/#36961258

How far out are you?  How much fat are you eating?

I had a few spoonfuls of ice cream the other night, which worked beautifully

i didnt even think about ice cream!! lol thanks for letting me know

You're welcome, but I must come clean.....I wasn't using it for constipation, I just wanted ice cream!  But it did work.  Hope it helps...

Or, if you prefer, a piece of fruit pie of some sort.  Like apple or peach pie.  It's the sugar that does it. 

My body doesn't react to sugar like this.  It doesn't 'loosen things up' for me.  So I turn to fat and fiber.  I cook some veggies in heavy cream or have a deep fried something (like onion rings).  Try this if the sugar doesn't break it loose.

Also, double up on your magnesium to see if that doesn't help.  Magnesium usually breaks a constipation.
