This is a bit embasassing but the pain and dissomfort has become too much for me to take!

Im severely constipated! I havnt had a propper poo for over a week now! Please suggest something! Ive tried Over the counter remedies, and yesterday I drank 3 litres of fresh orange juice. Still nothing!

I do suffer IBS and take tablets for it.

Somebody please suggest something! I cant see GP till thursday!

Nothing would make me eat a BigMac!

does sound like you should class it as urgent - you are in pain and don't want to cause any more damage

my sister who regularly goes a week with no movement comes to my house (her dh wont let her eat junk food) as an alibi for visiting Macdonalds. She professes to be taking my children (who have nothing by the way) and indulges in a Big Mac and sure enough within a few hours - voila!

jampots · 16/05/2005 11:22

just for the record, once she's eaten her junk I do send her on her way

JoolsToo · 16/05/2005 11:23

put junk in - junk comes out

jampots · 16/05/2005 11:23

My sil had to go to A&E when not had a poo for a week. They gave her suppositories, sat her on a loo and it did teh trick.

WigWamBam · 16/05/2005 11:44

You can buy the suppositories over the counter for about 70p rather than go to A&E! They soften the poo and stimulate the bowel to eliminate it.

so its

grapes, linseed, actimel, prunes all mixed in with yoghurt, garlic followed by a big mac

suppostrie up the bum on the end of a finger

WigWamBam · 16/05/2005 11:46

It'll either shift the poo or make her sick, one of the two ...

Uncomfortable · 16/05/2005 14:37

Try coleslaw; also sit on the loo with your feet on a stool (pardon pun) or phone books to get into a better position.

Did you speak to the nurse, Uncomfortable? Any help?
