this afternoon I have been extremely constipated (swaying uncomfortably, switching positions) anything to release the gas
but it's stuck in their fast.
before dinner, (so about an hour ago) I noticed an odor coming from my nappy, and whent to the bathroom to check it was filthy, yet I am still suffering really severe constipation
I need to just empty myself good and proper. but how to get things moving
massage your groin, that will get you moving. also if you lean down and come up really fast several times.
also: are you sure it's not because their's just lots to come out?. you have said you were dirty when you went to change, I am wondering if the constipation feeling is not actually that, it's too much trying to come out at once. I have had that happen to me
I do get constipated a few times over the year. I usually take a fleet liquid glycerin suppository (7.5 ml). Maybe 5 to 10 minutes. Laying down on a bed works better for me. I lay on my back with my knees bent. Then I just completely relax. It always work.
Oh yes, the joy of IBS-C. I use MiraLAX, a fiber supplement, and sometimes add a Senokot if needed. As my gastro MD says, it's whatever works for me since my insurance co. will not pay for the prescription pills for the IBS-C.
Hi Sophie. Sorry Your having these issues. I'm quadriplegic. And like most paralyzed people I had problems with consitpatian for years. What happens is the constipated stool gets stuck and loose stool pushes past causing bowel incontinence accidents. Getting on a bowel program can help that. I see people talking about positioning. And that too helps to release the bowel.
