Constipated

[Maxieman17]

I've been constipated for 5, weeks I've tried different fiber food eating plenty of fruit and fruit juice and vegetables I take I walk every day but the last few days I have had no energy I'm drinking a lot of water the pain is getting unbelievable I just don't know what to do

It is horrible. I think you will need laxatives. Unfortunately healthy eating by itself might not be enough. I hope you will get better soon.

I also think you will need laxatives. See your doctor for the best advice on what to take. I have just had the same problem. Took Laxido for 3 days, then a glycerol suppository. Not a nice experience but it worked and went on working for a couple of days before I was clear. Hope you feel better soon.

Try taking magnesium citrate for a few days, maybe a couple of weeks. That can make a lot of difference. Some people take in daily but I think it can be a bit heavy on the kidneys but it does seem to work for me. Careful with laxatives as they can make the bowel lazy so the relief may only be short term. Milled flaxseed can help too. Best of luck

Had similar problem recently - constipated and felt like someone had grabbed my guts and was wringing them out like a wet towel.

Also so bloated and uncomfortable that I went out and bought a larger size of elasticated waist trousers. Not sure if releasing the pressure from a fixed waistband helped. I also took magnesium - I like see Voost - see below but that’s for a pack of six tubes, it isn’t all that expensive for a single pack. I also took some Fybogel - I like to take mine in sparkling water. Thank goodness things seem too be back too normal. You have my deepest sympathy, IBS is annoying but I find constipation very difficult to deal with.

Don’t put up with it though, you’ve had it a long time - go and get something from your doctor.

Very sincere replies. IBS C is bad and I have it as well. I assume Miralax does not work for you? How about Milk of Magnesia? If all else fails go for special test with a good Gastro doctor.
