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 🙏

I bought the microlax enemas from a local chemist and it was £8.95 for a box of 8. Those Amazon ones are pricy

I have a look at Google Earth Streetview and after a couple of minutes I get the urge to go. I’ve never admitted this to anyone in real life 😳

@Lapirogue ah ok - your secret is safe with me!

Sounds flippant but a long walk where there are no toilets and with no change of clothes usually gives me the urge...similarly my LO when we go out without the change bag 😫

I cant do the massage because of the endo pain. Ive just spent a week in hospital and this my first few days out.

Due to another condition, the only pain meds that really help is morphine but im trying to take a smaller dose.

Ive done the finger in fanny, and even the other one 🤣🤣.

I cant do much exercise beyond potter around at home.

Kfc does normally give me the it jits, so i may have to resort to that 😅

Ive ordered the enema set. With 8 doses. So im really hoping it works .

Ive taken 2 senna and drank some lactulose straight from the bottom.

Also, the foot stool "or in my case a barbie campervan" did help a bit so ill be trying that in the morning after that lot tonight.

Im nervous about the enema. How i stop poop from going anywhere??

Really desperate because ill need to go back into hospital if its not sorted.

Really dark green cabbage and spinach

I was sent an enema kit to use at home before going for a bowel scope test.

You lie on your side on the bathroom floor, put the little hose in and squirt the bag of liquid in. After a bit ..... Helloooooooo.

I really would try Movecol before trying an enema, it’s what they get you to drink before you have an colonoscopy to clear your tubes out. Can it over the counter in a chemist. The effects are quite spectacular.

Morphine causes constipation in case anyone hasn’t said.

I have found these quite good in the past. https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/ortis-fruits-fibres-chewable-cubes-60040382

Get some magnesium citrate powder from amazon. A scoop or 2 in fruit juice before you go to bed, then strong coffee in the morning, should sort you right out 👍

@Cucumber1234 sorry if you’ve already replied to the point, but many people have mentioned eating prunes. If you eat a whole tin of tinned prunes today you will go.

Prunes are well known for being a natural laxative. Prune juice doesn’t contain as much fibre as eating the whole fruit. Go and buy a tin of prunes!

The sunsweet prune juice has fibre. If you can find that, that would be very good for you. Heat it in the microwave or in a pot over a cooker and drink it warm.

I pooped!!

Enough to feel a bit more comfortable.

I have found a sticky toffee pudding with prunes rather than that so im going to try and make that. As the thought of srinking prune flavoured snot, or prunes just make me feel like im going to vomit.

Thank you for your suggestions!

Congratulations!

I haven't read the full thread so it might have been suggested. Put vaseline on your bum before trying to go. It'll help the poop slide out.

Reflexology, works very effectively (see friend who didn’t believe me, over did it and spent next couple days going to the toilet! 😆)

Glad you've been OP 👍

Going forward ....
Prunes, prune juice, stewed apples, mango pulp and lots of it! Then just potter for a few minutes and wait...
