help somebody

Hi everyone I hate to post a public question about my bathroom problems but I can not get ahold of my Dr and the Nurse has not called me back. Problem is I am constipated. It's been almost a week. I normally do not have this problem and don't know what I can take to resolve. I have taken a stool softener but no results. Please advise what I can take safely and when should I panic. Good news is I'm down to 140 and look great? Got a date tonight yea!

First of all..dont panic;) Second of all....one word...REESES SUGAR FREE CHOCOLATE. Makes ya go every time. Eat 2 or 3...but stay close to the bathroom!! LOL Also, try popcorn. My nutritionist said really, you can eat a whole bag, because its mostly air..and if you chewed up a whole bag, spit it out into your hand..it would all fit. I eat it every night and have never been constipated. However, if I really want to cleanse (! LOL) I go the sugar free chocolate route. Let us know! Kathy PS..dont be embarassed....we all have the same issues! PPS...knock em dead tonight, chick!

Patti like kathy said reese's sugar free or any sugar free candy that has Sorbitol in it. HOspitals actually use it as a laxative and it works everytime!!! OR fleet suppositiory or enema... I prefer the chocolate sugar free stuff LOL
