Urgent! What works for chronic constipation to the point I simply can't go?

[Pixiedust1973]

Not been to the toilet for over a week now. Got to the stage where I cannot eat. Nothing is working I have tried exlax chocolate, suppositories, laxido (8 sachets) & dulcalax pico pearles plus lots of water. The out of hours GP prescribed the pico pearles last night & I took them about 10 1/2 hours ago as well as the max dose of laxiod again & suppositories. Supposed to work within 6 to 12 hours, still nothing.. What else can I try? I don't want to spend Christmas day on the toilet or unable to eat. :(

Hope they have managed to sort you. Sounds horrible!

Goodness, really hope you are sorted out soon, OP, constipation is absolutely awful Hopefully you are in A&E getting sorted now.

Oh bless uou. I really hope you are at a&e and getting some rocket fuel to shift things along.

Hope your being seen now!

your you're

So sorry for you, I hope this is resolved really quickly for you, it's such miserable problem :(

Hope you are ok and have had some movement, that your dh and dad got home safe and you have a wonderful and unrestricted day tomorrow

Pixie - hope you ok.

Never been as bunged up as you but just straight forward constipation is painful enough.
Hope you get home to your bed/own loo soon.

Still in hospital I'm afraid. Had 2 enemas which didn't work so being kept in. They are about to put me on a drip. Oh deep joy. Will laugh about it one day. Thanks for all the advice everyone. Hopefully things move tomorrow & I can go home. :) Happy Christmas to all & crappy Christmas to me hopefully lol. xx

Oh dear. Have they done an xray?

Yes. Did x ray & bloods. Can see blockage. Its quite high up, hence enemas & suppositories not working. :(

Poor you, no wonder you've been feeling so sick. What a horrible thing to have at this time of year. Another time, do go sooner - it can really make you very poorly with fever, etc., and you can even end up vomiting faeces. It's no small matter and nobody will ever think you're being melodramatic.

oh my god woman. you poor love.

thank god you are in the right place. hugs to you xxxx

Hoping you poo soon x

Hope you get sorted out soon.
At least you are in good hands now.

I'm glad you're finally being looked after. Hope you feel better soon

Oh no, I'm sorry it turned out to be as bad as it sounded.

I hope they have a treatment plan for you and you get well cared for.

Some sleep would be nice. Would be quieter at Piccadilly circus. :(

You poor thing, hope you're sleeping now and get some movement soon.

Oh dear of you, I'm hoping you get to go soon and then everything will quickly start to feel better for you.

You poor thing, hope they manage to sort you out soon and you don't have too awful a day

Thanks all. Merry Christmas! Xxx

Hope you are ok OP. I too have reached the enema-in-hospital stage, that is grim enough let alone that failing to work. Hope you have some answers soon.

Merry Christmas Pixiedust!

Merry Christmas, Hope you get well soon :)
