Constipation

Hi lads was in a and e the last day with a really bad pain in my side and they said it was severe constipation. They prescribed me this laxative but it hasn't worked, I have also drank quite a lot of prune juice and water but nothing so far. Its quiete painful and i fear the next step is vomiting as some of the food I have eaten is coming up. So AH any tips to get me ****ting?

Movicol is what you need.

Peppermint tea.

If you are being serious, go see your GP tomorrow and ask how long should the medication take to work, and if not can they try something else like an enema.

Edit: also what Brian said, warm water (sugary) is a good way, plus linseeds on cereal (but drink water after eating them)

Ah your full of sh1t.

3 weeks!!!!
You need to go to a doctor.

Warm sugary water.
It draws moisture from surrounding tissue into bowel which helps loosen everything.

Warm water and keep stirring in sugar until it won't dissolve any more.

Yoga. Just warn the others in the class at the start.

Black coffee and a cigarette for breakfast the morning after you drink the suggested bottle of red wine.

+1 on this, most painless way, but not right away.
I was told I had impaction and was given Movicol (or Laxado as its called too) and it took about a week to even start working, but once you are over the worst its really fantastic.

next step may be: feculent vomiting

(dunno ask a doctor)

A three week back log (no pun intended) must be very painful.

Ask your pharmacist about stool softeners OP, it might be very dehydrated in your bowel and that might be why it's not moving. If it's not softened it's going to hurt to pass it all.

Hope you're okay.

Are you drinking way more water than normal after taking them? You have to take a lot of water with that Movicol stuff to make it work and not add to the block.
I found that helped me, but it did take about 5 or 6 days to even move anything

Yeah drinkingba fair bit of water, just wondering could it be the amount of tea that i drink?as i drink about 5 or 6 cups a day and go to the toilet a lot afterwards.

sugar free chewing gum, it's worse than a dose of salts

Its usually 3 sachets per day for a severe case. Check with your doc. But it will eventually work.

Holy shìt!! (Or not in this case!)

Sounds gross but get Vaseline and a latex glove and grease the hole of yourself. It'll help smooth the way for the imminent delivery.
