[lauren37]

I have been constipated and haven't gone to the bathroom in about 4 days I had a high fiber breakfast and I am drinking water but nothing is working To feel like this kind of makes me N* and I don't know what to do I am scared I hope I can go today

i suffer from this quite often as i have ibs, but don't panic. you're bound to feel n* but don't worry, you shouldn't get sick from it.

there's lots of things you can do. if you don't want to take any actual medication (which you can just buy over the counter) you can try herbal stuff. peppermint oil in tablet form is meant to work wonders, or if not a peppermint tea.

if all else fails, try something spicy, like a curry. it sounds gross, and yes you make get tummy pains, but remember, it's just because you're body is trying to clear the waste from your system and it can't, not because you're s*.

hope that helps.

I am an expert on constipation issues. I'm always constipated, sometimes not going for over a week or even TWO weeks (because of how many anti-emetics I take). Anyways, there are a lot of remedies you can try. The one that I've found most effective is a glycerin suppository. It works within 15 mins or sooner. Also you can try drinking Miralax or Milk of Magnesia. Neither will give you D* or anything like that, it'll just help move things along.

I know constipation can make you feel super yucky but don't worry, you won't V* from it. As soon as you go you'll feel much better!

i love the glycerin suppositories. They are cheap and work in about 15 minutes.
