I'M MISERABLE!!!

 I CAN'T POOP!! I FEEL SO BLOATED AND MISERABLE!! I HAVE TAKEN A STOOL SOFTENER BUT NO RELIEF YET! I FEEL LIKE CRYING!! EVERY TIME MY TUMMY CRAMPS UP I THINK YEAH AND RUN OFF TO THE BATHROOM BUT NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF GAS!! SORRY THIS IS A GROSS SUBJECT BUT I HAVE TO VENT OR I WILL CRY. I FEEL LIKE MY  BELLY STICKS WAY OUT TO THE FRONT DOOR AND MY LOWER BACK IS KILLING ME. IT GETS WORSE WHEN I WORK OUT BUT I KEEP THINKING MAYBE IT WILL JAR IT LOOSE. AND BOY AM I CRABBY! THATS CRABBY NOT CRAPPY!! ANYWAY HOPEFULLY BY TONIGHT THINGS WILL GET MOVING...I MAY GET ME SOME PRUNES OR PRUNE JUICE WHO KNOWS!

For natural remedy, drink some senna tea, eat some ff refried beans and lay off the cheese.  Otherwise, call your doctor and ask what to take.  Up your fluids, too.  This will be a constant problem in the future unless you can figure out what keeps you moving (sorry for the pun.) 

P.S. You can take a stool softener am and pm for a couple days until you get going.  I take one every morning.

Bless your heart. If I don't have a bowel movement even one day, I take a cap full of Miralax, put it in my shake, and it works great. I like that it's a powder that mixes well and has no flavor. I get it at Wal-Mart.
Blessings,
Mary

If natural remedies don't work, Miralax works great -

I can totally sympathize with you.  I was having this very problem last weekend.  I was one miserable gal.  I ended up waking up my DH about 3:00a.m. Monday morning and told him he had to go to WalMart for me.  I had him buy me a fleet enema and also fleet suppositories.  I used one suppository and walla...within 5 minutes...RELIEF...  I have never in my life had to resort to that but when they doubled up my iron it really locked me up.  I tell ya sista, go for the fleet suppository as bad as it sounds it will do the trick for you!  Maybe this will mak you "crappy"! 

you know at this point a suppository even sounds good!

I've used Dulcolax and it has helped me...  I hope you find something that brings some relief to you soon, girl.  It sounds awful and I send lots of *hugs* to you!  Also try apple juice... that's helped me too.

THAT'S WHAT I TOOK LAST NIGHT AND THIS MORNING BUT STILL NOTHING. OF COURSE I ONLY TOOK 1 PILL BOTH TIMES SO MAYBE I NEED TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE THE FULL DOSAGE. APPLE JUICE SOUNDS GOOD ALSO. I AM READY TO TRY ANYTHING. THANKS

Constipation has been the worst part of this whole experience! Miralax does nothing for me. I have had to resort to fleet too. while it is not a pleasant experience, it sure beats being miserable!
