Im constipated, please help me poo

[Cucumber1234]

I have constipation as a complication of endometriosis.

Im on lactulose and senna. Which hasn't made a lot of difference.

Any tried and tested methods i could try? Id be so grateful 🙏

Yes! Lidl have those too at the checkout. Work well if you are backed up. (as we say here)

Ooh must try the sugar free butterscotch for next time( and I really hope there isn't a next time after the last two days of being totally bunged up!!)

OP, for immediate relief, try the prune juice, figs or fresh orange. Be REALLY careful with the dreaded dulcolax if you haven't had it before. It's BRUTAL on the tummy! I took one last night and have suffered all day with cramps and pain etc.

Coffee is excellent also, as is kiwi with skins on.

Good luck 🤞

2000mg of vitamin C.

kiwi with skins on

What?! Are unpeeled kiwis edible?

You could always use an enema but it might be fiddly as to most comfortably and effectively apply it you need your knees bent up to your chest. They're hugely effective though. Huuuugely.

I need to say first of all that I dont have chronic constipation but have had it a few times as a rebound from my IBS.
The main thing that helps me go is massage . I press my lower abdomen in an anti clockwise direction for a good few minutes at a time. I then leave it a while - drinking warm water while I wait and resume the massaging if nothing is happening. Usually doesnt take too long before relief. I also have some vaseline at the ready as the first 'push' can be painful without it.

I have arthritis in my hands and massaging can get pretty tiring and painful for me so I have a massage gun at the ready as it can be set to be lower pressure and I think that might work but I havent yet tried it.

If you have an L bend have you tried 'splinting'

This involves a finger in the vagina & press against the back wall to basically push the poo out!

I know it sounds grim & it it is pretty grim but it works!

Gyni physio recommended it! 😕

Magnesium citrate 600mg, take one every day 2 hours after a meal or 1 hour before a meal.

You'll notice a difference within 24 hours.

Daily fruit smoothies, containing flaxseed, plus daily yoga,.including sitting in squat pose.

Pineapple. Lots of it.

I have obstructive constipation. I’ve tried so many things, including prescription meds, over the years. The one thing guaranteed to shift things is sodium picosulfate. You can buy it from the pharmacy. 10ml of that stuff before bed, and stay near a toilet the next day; cancel any plans. Get wet wipes/moist toilet tissue/whatever. It’s unpleasant but it works.

My alternative cure is Google Earth street view. Never fails

A coffee, an apple and a jog would probably
do it for me. The only time I’ve been constipated was due to painkillers following surgery and it was awful but something from the chemist helped eventually. I’m also dairy intolerant so some yogurt or ice cream and a brisk walk would probably do it too.

You might have to explain this one to me, I’m not following sorry

Salt water flush? 2tbsp of Himalayan salt in 1lt of warm water.
Have a google though, there's some conditions that it's not advised for.

A trip to Home Bargains.

I don't know what it is about that shop but as soon I start walking round, I get the urge to go! 😬 (see also the local library)

Supermarket

Movicol. A massive dose. Like 12 / 14 sachets. Will move anything.

I feel your pain.

I have endo constipation.

My gonto is food grade caster oil. Ive also found that a couple of boxes of the aldi sugar free sweets you get by the tills works a treat.

You poor thing . I have an underactive bowel,it stopped moving a few years ago. I'm prescribed Laxido, I'm not sure you can get it over the counter but it's worth a try. Dulcolax works as a temporary measure but you don't want to take them too often, just when you're v.impacted.

Dried apricots m movicol or the mini enema things in the pic.

Curry
Or allbran I think it is, that usually helps me.

Oranges.
Lentil soup
Draught Pepsi.
McFlurrys, I had to stop getting them as whatever is in them doesn’t agree with me. Other whippy ice cream is fine though.
