tmi its a poop question

ok so i am soo friggin constipated ...my poop is hard as a rock and wont come out ...im so miserable i tried ducolax and a fleet enema got some out but not all...what do i do before i go nuts?

 i take benefiber daily in my water.. and keeps me regular.. i skipped a few days when i thought ohh i dont need it.... boy was i wrong! couple tsps in my crystal lite every morning... and no problems

I have added colace to my nightly vitamins.  If it is stuck and you have taken laxative, I would call the doc before it gets worse.

BTW, we love poop questions  LOL!

this is where the water comes in handy it keeps things moving.
I would try the enema again maybe, and take some MOM i have heard that really works
i take fiber everyday as preventative measures

Also - make sure that you are walking.  That helps keep things moving as well.  And I totally agree with using Benefiber.  I put a couple of teaspoons in my protein shake every morning and things have been moving along great.

What they said  and WATER WATER WATER>   even today, If I'm not drinking enough fluids, I have problems.

Once you are on soft foods, add some All Bran (or other fiber rich cereal) to sf ff yogurts.

Given your current state, you might want to check in with surgeon's office for their advice.

I was having allot of pain this past month and had allot of tests done, one of the things they found on the catscan was my bowel was full at one place and he put me on miralax daily, my grandchildren have been taking it daily for a year now and if they didn't have the doctor tell us if was ok to do this I would think twice......but it has been two weeks now and no pain, and everything is moving very very well........oh yes, never trust gas, it ;may not be gas.,....but I do feel better, I put it in my coffee, don't even know it is there.....Lois

We LOVE poop questions here.

And you got lots of good answers already.

It's going to take a while for you to be normal again, unfortunately.

Keep drinking the water though, it certainly helps.

Here's my no fail regimine for really hard poop.....

Dulcolax SUPPOSITORY 
Leave in for as long as you can stand it.  Most times it works on me within 15 mins.  There was only one time it didn't.  For that....

I used the suppository in the morning.
I took four PERI COLACE (not the regular colace...) at night
In the morning I did another suppository.

And then I spent the rest of the day cramping and pooping but good lord was I cleaned out.

Now, if I notice that I'm getting a little irregular I take the peri colace (2 -4 tabs) at night and generally by morning am good to go, literally.

And definately keep up with water water water and more water!
