Category — Constipation-Relief

I have what feels like a bowling ball sitting at anus hole. I took 10,000 of vitamin C. Tried fish oil, fibrous foods but nothing. I need it out now!!! Every time I go to pee it scoots down & tries to come out & it hurts like severe labor pains. Is this constipation? Will an edema work? Is that what’s its called?

What will give me immediate relief?

Sorry in advance if this is too detailed. Saturday I noticed that I was getting very gassy and bloated. By Sunday, i realized that I hadn’t passed my bowels in 24 hours, which is odd because I usually go 2-3 times a day. The pain developed pretty quickly, very bloated, unable to pass my bowels at all or gas easily. I know constipation is usually caused by lack of fiber, exercise and fluids but I eat a very healthy diet and get the recommended amount of fiber daily, I workout 3-4 times a week and drink a ton of water, no soda and no coffee. I decided to take 2 stool softeners and do some yoga stretches to help things along….nothing. Early Monday morning, around 3am, I was jolted from my sleep as the stool softeners kicked in. It felt like I emptied my entire colon, there was a large amount, solid, slightly loose but otherwise fine. I had relief only for a few hours and the pain resumed later in the day. I don’t want to use the laxatives again, I’ve tried gasX to relieve the pain but that’s only temporary, the yoga stretches relieve the gas but I still cannot go. Any help?!

i havent been to the toilet for a few days, im going out in 2 hours and i need to go number 2 before i go out because im bloated! (i ate a lot of white bread yesterday) big mistake. anyway i know laxatives help but they take all day to work, i need something that i could find around the house that will work pretty much within an hour. does aloe vera help straight away?
Dont say prune juice because that doesnt help taking it once
HELP!
What is an enema?

ya i broke my leg the other day and just got this painkillah which i hear can cause constipation….b4 i start taking it i was wondering… since orange juice is acidic, can it prevent this constipation? If not wut can? thanks in advance

Hi I am a 25 year old female who is slightly overweight and I really don’t exercise. Lately I have been experiencing lower back pain, abdominal cramps off and on (with bloating), constipation off and on, breast pain, and the newest thing is that I have a pain between my breasts that feels like gas, and all I feel like doing is burping which brings really temporary relief (like less than a minute). The pain between my breasts normally happens after eating and it usually subsides after an hour or so. I have also had headaches. This has been happening for about two weeks. Plus I had two cold sores within 2 weeks of each other which is so weird for me. I don’t get my period, because I’m on a birth control pill where I don’t have my period for three months. So lost-Help!

Is Colon Cure any good? Is it like a strong laxative? My grandma bought a sample of it to help with my constipation problem, but I’m a little weary of using it.
I’ve been to the doctors for this too by the way, and they all always say they don’t know.
So I’m trying to find things I can do on my own.
If you have any suggestions besides Colon Cure, I’m very open to hearing them. I need some sort of relief that isn’t laxatives (I hear laxatives aren’t good for you anyway).
I already know I have a problem with my diet; ie. soda, cheese, chips (on a daily basis)
I’ve tried cutting them from my life and lasted about two weeks before I fell into bad habit again. Nothing really changed except that my stool did get softer. Should I have kept going? Would it take long since I have been eating so unhealthy for so long?
Any information is appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Alright, here’s the details:
I’m sixteen years old, I’ve been sexually active for almost a year with ONE person, I’ve had frequent urinary tract infections, yeast infections, and bladder infections since I was like 4. The past six months have been the worst months of my life; I’ve had these symptoms nearly every single day, without relief:

-Slight abdominal pain/tenderness
-Bloating
-Frequent, painful/burning unrination (with very little urination each time)
-Just an overall burning/throbbing sensation
-Abnormal urine colour (dark yellow, light yellow, clear), and odour
-Irregular periods the last few months (usually I’m VERY regular)
-Intense cramps, bloating, PMS, diarrhea, back and leg pain, and vomiting on periods (it becomes unbearable to the point where I pass out)
-Sometimes heavy bleeding during periods for an extended period of time, sometimes very little bleeding for a short period of time
-Excessive discharge (very foul-smelling, or sometimes no smell) - changes in colour and consistency (yellow, green, clear, white, brown after periods, sometimes thick and sticky, sometimes runny and liquidy)
-OR sometimes I’m too dry!
-Pain in the ovary-area

Other Symptoms that could be related (I don’t really know)
-Constipation
-OR Diarrhea
-Fatigue
-Upset stomach
-Strange eating habits
-Breast tenderness
-Pain during intercourse

Now, I have tried tons of anti-biotics and natural remedies, as well as creams, etc… but NOTHING seems to give me relief for more than a week!

Please help me to find out what I have?!?!
I’ve been leaving messages with the gynocologist (I want to make my first appointment) for over a month, but no response.

HELP!

I have Fleet Phospho-soda oral saline laxative and I was wondering if I took it, would I throw up or get instant diarreah.
It says on the label:

INDICATIONS: Laxative: for the relief of occasional constipation. Purgative: for use as part of a bowel cleansing regimen in preparing the patient for surgery or for preparing the colon for x-ray or endoscopic examination

So, would I throw up if I took it?

I’m just trying to get rid of something I ate cuz I have a stomach ache and it’s just kinda sitting there.

i haven’t had the urge to go to the bathroom since thursday. I eat FiberOne poptarts, granola bars, drink water, lots of whole wheat stuff….but nothing. what am i doing wrong? Don’t say take pills, i can’t. i am also 97 pounds so how much fiber and water should i get?

thanks!
im 17…..about 5′1” tall. im just active thats why i don’t weigh much!

So I just looked up a drug for chronic pain, thinking I could ask my doctor about it, but after reading it, I’m not so sure.
It seems the side effects are worse than the relief that could be had:
Constipation; decreased sexual desire or ability; dizziness; dry mouth; headache; hot flush; increased sweating; loss of appetite; nausea; trouble sleeping; vomiting.

Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur when using Savella:

Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); bizarre behavior; bloody or black tarry stools; confusion; dark urine; excessive sweating; fainting; fast or irregular heartbeat; fever, chills, or persistent sore throat; hallucinations; loss of coordination; memory problems; muscle pain or weakness; new or worsening agitation, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, aggressiveness, impulsiveness, irritability, hostility, restlessness, or inability to sit still; pale stools; red, swollen, blistered, or peeling skin; seizures; severe or persistent headache or dizziness; severe or persistent nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea; severe or persistent trouble sleeping; stomach pain; suicidal thoughts or attempts; tremor; trouble urinating; unusual bruising or bleeding; unusual or severe mental or mood changes; unusual weakness; yellowing of the skin or eyes.

How many of you take this?
Have you had any of these crazy side effects?
Is it worth it?
