Constipation

Ughhh, I need some I have had the worst problem today with going to the bathroom. It's like I can feel it just sitting there wanting to come out. I want it to come out, but it won't. Sorry if I am being too graphic for anyone. Everytime I go to the bathroom today I do get a little bit out but I can tell there is still some there. Someone please!!!!! Is there something I can take? I dont want to have to use anything. I would rather try to do things naturally. I had some applesauce at dinner tonight. That usually helps things to move. I am about to resort to SF chocolate!!!!!!! I am afraid if I keep straining I am gonna hurt myself, things are already pretty tender down there. Sorry my AMOS family but I knew I could be honest with all of you! Janet

Hi Janet Haven't seen you around lately. How are you doing? It's so funny because I am having problems with bowels also and was going to post to try and get some help. I was reading tooters website for info on flaxseed oil to keep us regular I was thinking I would try that. I will be checking your responses for any help. Keep me posted on how you are doing. Tina

Hi Tina!!! I have been busy the past few weeks. Still trying to catch up from Christmas. I am doing well. feel great! I am down about 55 pounds. I would feel better if I could just go to the bathroom! How are you doing???? Janet

try prune juice, i had that problem a couple days ago, 4 oz should be good

Thanks Deanna. Actually it passed this evening but I will definately keep that in mind. For snack tonight I had some Atkins Crunchy Almond Crisp cereal that has 5g of fiber, so maybe that helped moved things along!!!!!! I will keep the prune juice in mind though if it happens again. Janet

Oh Janet I am so sorry you are having that problem I know what it's like. I was having the same problem too and then I cut back on my Iron and Boom No Problem. (Before you decide to cut back make sure it is ok with the doc first!) I only take one iron pill a week because like you I was so misarable when it came time to go. So please give your doc a call and explain youre situation and see what he/she says! Fell better sweetie. Love ya {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} 247/139/past goal

Evelyn- Thanks hon! Actually I am not so sure it was my iron. I take trinsicon 2x a day that has my iron and B12 so it would be hard to stop that. I did skip last nights dose though. I am feeling MUCH better today. Thanks! Janet
