Oh my...I've already taken a laxative and a stool softener. I have gloves here and KY jelly and I'm considering "going in". I haven't pooped in days. I know it is because my fluid intake has gone down...I usually drink flavored water and juice during the day and I'm out of both except for my little man's apple juice, which is just for him and I don't want to drink his stuff. We live way out in the country and I don't want to go to the store just to get juice...thus the reason I'm considering "going in".
Has anyone else here done stuff like this to yourself? I wish I had a soap suds enema too. Whew!
Oh, oh....such relief. I didn't have to "go in"; my laxative/stool softener combo kicked in. I had to take my toddler in to the bathroom with me because I didn't know how long I'd be. I sat there so long that both of my legs and feet went to sleep. I had to plunge the toilet. I feel so much better though...I could just laugh and squeal with delight, LOL.
It is akin to labor and delivery BUT at least when you are having a baby you know it will come out sooner or later...but when you are constipated and having cramps, you never know when it will come out or IF it comes out at all. I've had friends go to the ER and have impactions removed, oh yes.
Sorry to gross everyone out....I can think of some grosser things if anyone would like to hear?
do you not have drinking water in the home?? I would much rather drink water even if i didn't like it. I have not had to do that to myself and never will....
Oh god.... I thought this was in the clinical sense....
no have not done this at work... (mostly because I usually do cardiac AND because I usually attempt meds/enemas before that)
Miralax has worked for some people if taken regularly... High fiber diet is the best for constipation though - most natural and just requires dietary changes....

Yes, Iam familiar with this thanks to my MIL (may she rest in piece). She always decided to let us in on her daily BM's, AT THE DINNER TABLE, I am sure she could tell you exactly how it' done.

Warm prune juice with some melted butter in it ~ about a teaspoon of butter. That will do the trick!!
