Help, I am so bunged up I want to cry (TMI)

[seriouslybungedup]

Weight loss jab. They do warn you can get a bit constipated. I’ve not really been since Friday.

I’m so, so bunged up I’ve just had to try and manually evacuate (hell, but if I didn’t I was going to tear I think) and I’m going to have to nip to the late chemist for something. Enema, f**k knows... I’ve taken two senna but pack says they’ll take eight hours.

It’s so painful, and embarrassing, it’s unreal. I even thought in my misery of going to urgent care but what can they do?

Any advice would be hugely appreciated, I’ve even given myself a headache trying!

3 tsp of epsom salts in warm water should sort you out. Make sure you are near a loo as soon as you take it.

Glycerin suppositories. Or just wait for the Senna to take effect. It almost certainly will so long as you drink enough water.

Dulcolease. Although I guarantee it will work, but I'm warning you it doesn't take long!

I will go to Asda armed with this thread haha. I’m mortified. I don’t think that’s a story I will ever tell anyone in real life!!

Castor oil.

That'll clear your ummm sinuses 😬

Be near the loo.

Glycerine suppositories or micralax mini enemas... both available OTC.
Insert, lie on your left side with a hot drink to sip, and usually work within 20 mins.

Good luck. If you are chosing epsom salts (and I have tried ducoease and senna and they are painful for me..epsom salts cause no pain but are a bit drastic) then make sure you don't get the lavender bath ones like I did. Not so pleasant drinking them rather than bathing in them.....

Dulcolax.

Be warned OP, be near your loo. The results were so - for want of a better word - violent, I think I actually started praying.

Good luck OP. A good chemist will be sympathetic and will help advise you x

Suppositories. Just waiting for lift home now!

Another vote for glycerin suppositories. Keep it in for as long as you can.

Cleared my fucking womb out too 😂 ds1 came out like a rocket!!!!! Don't recommend this one for inducing labour 🤣

Senna or dulalax will have u shitting through the eye of a needle big time.Do not go out tomorrow! I literally shit myself on the street after taking this

Good luck comrade.

Hopefully clear the OP's food baby!!😂

Sorry OP, not trying to be insensitive in the slightest, this kind of thing is awful and I really feel for you. You mustn't be embarrassed, we've all been there.

Yes same here hope you're OK op!

Random one but you got any pickles / gherkins? A straight shot of the juice works!!! I've done it before x

It’s only been 2/3 days at the most. There was someone on here recently that hadn’t gone for three weeks. She was sent away from urgent care/A&E so I don’t think they’d see you OP 😂.

Just get some laxatives and you’ll be fine. Good luck!

Have a go at this, I thought it was bunkum but I tried it today and it really works!!!! I feel so clean and empty😄

P.S. When your suppositories start to kick in, make sure you have some Sudocrem for your poor sore bum!

Oh God this has made me laugh 😆 thank you! It’s in … now we pray! Sadly I don’t have any pickle juice but I do have prunes…

If I drink a lot it seems to have that effect, so if it doesn’t work I’d say half a bottle of wine and 2 G&T’s might just do it…

😂

Once you have this episode cleared out get some prunes/dates in and have a couple a day or Dulcoease if you've not been for a day or so to keep you kind of regular as it's less brutal on the stomach then Dulcolax. Also make sure you are drinking a lot.

I'm on week 3 now and pretty much have it sorted now.

Couple of coffees with dairy works me fine...

I usually go 2-3 days without having a clear out, it’s my normal and always has been.
But on MJ I had a few spells of it being 4-5 days and it was making me feel heavy and uncomfortable. Plus quite farty!
Anyway I just make sure I stay really hydrated and ensure I walk a lot to keep my body moving and it does eventually shift.
Not really into remedies myself so haven’t ever tried any of the things mentioned above.
I have found though that if I drink pineapple or apple juice at a hotel breakfast things start moving pretty quickly…
Whatever happens, don’t feel embarrassed- I think almost everyone on the planet has experienced a bit of constipation in the course of their lifetime. And good luck!

Get the prunes down you op and settle in! We're all rooting for you. Incidentally I actually think prunes taste lovely 😂

Glycerin suppositories saved me when I was in a very similar predicament a few months ago. Hold on as long as you can - an hour worked for me.

also recommend fybogel for day to day maintenance.

hope you feel much better soon.
