Really constipated

[Billsfriend]

I have lately been going 4-5 days without a BM. Today is day 5. My wife wanted to go to the beach, so I took her.

Around 1pm I told her I needed to get back to our unit to take care of business. She knows it's day 5.

I tried to dissuade her, but she insisted on coming back.

I took a TBSP of castor oil which usually works.

2hrs. Later another.

Then a glycerin suppository.

I'm now on my second bottle of mag citrate, and getting concerned.

I asked her if she would go to Walmart (2miles away) to get a couple saline enemas.

She went, but in a huff.

I rub her feet, stretch her legs, cook her food, And I do whatever it takes to give her a long lasting climax.

I do everything gladly and wish she would too. I guess I'm just blowing off steam.

I don't understand,

Any advice would be great!

Oh yeah and 3 dulcolax stool softener. I am finally starting to pass some gas!

Hi,

More information on constipation is available here theibsnetwork.org/constipat...

Leave rubbing your wife's feet and giving her a long lasting climax and take yourself to see your GP who will prescribe something to make you go. 😊

Thanks, I did finally break through last night!

Another writer suggested Grey Rocking, which I had never even heard of. It's the Only thing that gets results.

So here I go!

I suggest a trip to the doctors they can give you something stronger to relieve your constipation .

I know you are right, but the prescription drugs cost from$250 to over $400/ month. I'm a cheap old man and have to pay out of pocket.

In investing the meds ( which was a result of your kind advice). I did come across a couple more OTC meds, most notably: polyethylene glycol, which I want to try first.

I should tell you that I was on medical marijuana for 5 years- and smoked constantly.

I quit 5 weeks ago and believe that is the underlying cause. I hate to admit it but anxiety causes me to have all sorts of medical problems!

So I expect the problem to resolve after I adjust.

I still have a positive urine test too- after 5 weeks and 2days!

Thanks again, you really did help me!

I find Lactulose is the only thing that works for me, But it gives terrible gas and wind but it works so the side effects are worth it.

[Billsfriend in reply to Bits1961]

Thanks for the excellent suggestion lactulose is my next step if polyethylene glycol doesn't work!

Take magnesium supplements everyday with lots of water... plus some good probiotics to make ur gut healthier .. i used to go once a week now go everyday.

Also look at ur diet...

I noticed my problem was bread ! I kinda just bunged everything up .

Not eaten it now for 3 years and my digestive system great

[Billsfriend in reply to Lulububs]

Really great suggestions, I know that there is a strong correlation between magnesium intake and bowel habits. I just needed the reminder!
