[ell1877]

Hi

I'm really embarrassed to be posting this but I needed the toilet this morning so I went as usual but couldn't push it out n I've been trying on n off my about an hour and a half I'm getting myself stressed n it so uncomfortable
I remember the same sort of thing happening g a few year ago n it eventually passed but it's driving me crazy It just want it out

Any suggestions please

Try eating high in fibre foods. Fruit, orange juice.
Oh also lots of water my soften it I think.Its just constipation I hate it when it happens!

I wouldn't worry too much.some foods especially meat take 72 hours to pass through. i get obsessed myself if i am not regular but what is regular ?. Some people go three times a day others twice a wek.
Do as suggested above and drink plenty of water and high fibre foods and if in a day or so you still haven't been take a mild laxactive.
The more you worry the more you stress and that in itself leads to constipation,but in your case we are just on day one, and i am sure it will resolve itself.

I am having a lot of trouble at the moment with this problem and I have an instant solution. I have bought a packet of GLYCERINE SUPPOSITORIES, you can get them from chemists and supermarkets, they are easy to use and you will pass the motion within about half an hour. I am sure they will work for you. Let me know how you get on.

I have used the glycerine suppositories too. they are very good
Ell, do not strain.

Straining can make it sore, but it should be back to normal soon, yes.
