Constipation-quick solutions

[Boxshibe]

I've got really bad constipation. Not gone for nearly a week. I've been taking molaxone twice a day and 4 times today and still nothing . Been drinking black coffee and orange juice .
I'm awaiting a colonoscopy some time in January but need some relief now
Anyone got any homemade recipes ?

if a supermarket is still open near you, get glycerin suppositories. You’ll go in minutes

Definitely suppositories. Also try pooing on newspapers/old towel on the bathroom floor. The squatting position helps. Good luck!

When sitting on toilet, have a step stool or something similar height to put you into squashing position.

Weetabix should have you going fairly quickly also

Porridge and a power walk

If you can also squat on floor with trousers up for awhile to help move it along

Prunes
Oranges

All you need is oil ! Any food type of oil especially coconut oil, you can take a good few tablespoons now, wait an hour then another couple if nothing has happened. But it will !

When things are bad there’s really no point putting anything else in at the mouth end, you need to sort out the blockage at the bottom. Suppository it is!

Once you have sorted this out, start drinking a glass of prune juice every morning to help keep you regular.

Glycerine suppositories. Works in 5 minutes.

Eat a whole bag of any sugar free sweets. Works a treat. 😜

A fag? 😆

Liquorice does for me.

Drink a cup of very hot water (boiled from the kettle and then drink it as soon as you can). That usually helps me.

Start the day with a couple of pieces of fibrous fruit (aplles, pear etc) and a big bowl of All Bran. Drink loads of water throughout the day and eat fibrous food (wholemeal bread, pulses etc).

Thanks. I'll buy some suppositories on Monday. I'm under investigation as I've been having bowel pain and diarrhoea. Since the pain has stopped I've now got constipation.

Also try going for a walk.... if you've been fairly sedentary these last few days and eating junk as we have, your guts mightbe sluggish so try a little exercise

You need a stimulant laxative as well. What you’re on is a stool softener. You need something like senna or sodium picosulfate to stimulate movement in the bowel too. Both available OTC in the chemist.

Please don't !isten to peop!e list g food and drink solutions if you haven't been for a week the last th it you need is to add other things to your diet ,I have a child with chronic constipation,glycerine. Suppositories are quite weak too ,bisocodyl,are more effective although they can make you nauseous ,go to a pharmacist tomorrow ,there should be at least a duty one open they are the best to advise
