Constipation

[MidnightCalm]

Does anybody have any tips?
I've been trying to go to the toilet for 3 days but it's just too difficult to pass.
Sorry if this is a tmi, it's too hard and dry to pass and too much of it seems to be coming at once, I'm sore because of straining and I already have piles and suffer from fissures so I'm worried I'll just cause more.
I've read about enemas? Do they sell these in places like Sainsburys? Like on the shelf?
Is there anything else I can do? :/ I don't think a laxative would help as it's already ready to come out, a laxative would probably just rush more too it and make me even more desperate =(
Is there anything I can do/use? :////
It's awkward for me to do anything as I'm uncomfortable and just blahhh because of this.

You sound like you havnt been drinking enough .Try some orange juice and drink more water .In future ,drink more and buy some Fybogel it will bulk your stools and make them easier to pass .T/c sue

Thank you for the advice, do you know any way I could make my current situation easier?

I take fybogel which you can get in the supermarket or chemist,and like Suzy said you need to drink lots of water especially to get the fybogel moving.Also try some boiled water cooled down.

There is quite a bit you can get on the shelf,but lots of water to!!!!!!!

Gallons of the stuff - boiled water cooled down - should do the trick!

Good luck

Drink boiled water cooled down?

[macc noodle]

Yep - I mean don't try and drink it whilst boiling hot don't want you to burn your mouth !

I don't know why it works, I only know it does!
