TMI......

Okay I am starting to think something is wrong, I can not go poo. I know TMI the last time I went was Memorial day. I take softner and the merilax (sp) stuff four times a day and nothing happen. Lets just say when I finally went it hurt SO bad. Any ideas? is this normal?

No, that is not normal.  It may be time to bring out the big guns like Fleets.  I add fiber to my coffee morning and afternoon or I would be in trouble too.  Since we eat so little fiber I feel the need to get it in somewhere.

Okay kiddo you should not wait so long to go. its stated if you havent gone in three days call your doc...
I use magnesium citrate once a month..just to keep the pipes clear...

It is not normal.  My daughter hadn't gone in 2 weeks and when she went to the doctor they told her to dilute a whole bottle of Miralax and take it with a bunch of water.  I thought that was a lot but they said it is compared to the big bottle of stuff they give you when you have a colonoscopy.  They did say though that you have to injest lots of water with it for it to work properly.

Follow their advice and hey, look on the bright side:  you will be doing good on weight in tomorrow!

Ooooh goodie!  I love TMI!!!

Since I have diarrhea all the time, between the two of us, we're the perfect pooper!!!  

Once you go do NOT stop the Miralax. Once you are going regularly WEAN the Miralax but don't stop cold turkey.  I had the same problem and this method helped. Now I still take it from time to time as soon as I notice I have slowed down.

You need dynamite, I need a cork....what a pair!!

I HAVE THAT PROBLEM A LOT TOO. IF I DON'T GO EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS THEN I AM TAKING A STOOL SOFTNER. I HAVE FOUND THAT IF I WAIT TOO LONG IN BETWEEN TIMES IT HURTS BIG TIME WHEN I FINALLY GET TO GO. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN GET THIS CORRECTED AND FEEL BETTER SOON!

I have had this same problem! I finally upped my colace intake to 4 a day, and I always add 3 scoops of benefiber to my protein shake breakfast, I still don't go EVERYDAY but I go at least every other day. And when you go and you know it's going to be bad, get a foot stool to put your feet on while you go....it keeps things from tearing as bad and gives you a little leverage, if you know what i mean!
