Extremely constipated?! HELP

**Blondiepa1** · September 1st, 2008, 07:43 PM

I know this is a side effect but what do I do now? I feel SO bloated and havent really had a "healthy" poop in a while. Not feeling well at all.

Ohh it's no joke when you feel that horrible feeling. I was constipated for over 2 weeks

But last night i just couldnt take it anymore. I took 2 Ducolax tabs, and this afternoon I had success.... go get some. you will feel much better

A few weeks ago I got that way and took 2 Dulcolax pills and was fine the next morning afterwards...however, in the next few days I got right back stopped up again...this time I bought the Dulcolax suppositories and within 15 minutes I was going...so I started taking Cascara Sagrada which you can buy at Walmart or any drug store...it's natural and you will go everyday if you take one everyday...They are only $5 at Wally World..and there is no explosion in the bathroom and you are not running to get to the bathroom either...It's natural for me!
Plus I still eat the heck out of fiber all day too..
Good luck!

I was taking correctol soft gels and they worked the first day but stopped after that. I couldn't take it any more so I took some dieters tea called Laci Le Beau Super Dieters Tea and it worked great. I bought it at walmart. I felt much better afterwards. Hope this helps!

I tried Castor Oil one day but I was in the bathroom like 7 times within the next 3 hours! Miralax is good too. Are you getting enough fiber? Women should have about 25-30 grams a day.
