11 days since BM

I am sick to my stomach and the pressure is killing me. I've been taking Miralax, Prune juice, Apple juice, high fiber. Lattes have always brought on BM's . . .but having one brought home daily has done nothing to help. Doctors office just recommended 2 tablespoons mineral oil mixed with chocolate syrup..and add a suppository. I have had issues with undiagnosed rectal bleeding. I am freaking out.

Re: 11 days since BM

One thing you may want to avoid is dairy as it can actually work against you when you're constipated.
Try some stool softeners combined with senokot at night before bed with a lot of water. Don't eat anything after that though, just drink. This combo is what worked for me along with a lot of roughage during the day. Take a few stool softeners and a couple of senokot. The key for me was the not eating after though, if I did it didn't work as well.
When you wake up have a small glass of cold water, then a big cup of coffee and walk around your house a bit.
Good luck, I hope this resolves it for you

Oh, I am so sorry, that must be so miserable. Have you warmed the prune juice? Are you able to walk at all? Prayers this passes quickly for you.

Ask your doctor if you can try a fleets enema. That should clean you out and then you can try other suggestions as needed. You are all plugged up poor thing

Dear, I am sorry for all that you have to go through. You are probably sweating because you are nervous and it probably isn't feeling the best. Prayers that this is over soon!

I saw the above comment and thought id mention...Milk of magnesia worked for me about six hours after I took it. I had a lot of cramping until it worked but by that point I was happy anything worked! Feel better soon.

Milk of magnesia also worked for me. I used it after 4 days. Prunes, coffee, water had not helped. I feel for you!
