Drink lots of water with your meals, lots of fibre. A laxative may help in your current situation.0
-
Sometimes it helps me "go " if I drink a lot of coffee with cream. Keep drinking your water too !
Try to up your fiber if needed. If that doesn't work then maybe try miralax. Its gentle and won't cause explosive diarrhea or cramping. I hate those stimulant laxatives because of the massive stomach pains it gives me. So I use miralax when I'm having a hard time going.0 -
Prunes. Especially the jarred baby food. Miracle!0

If this is an ongoing issue, it might be worth talking to your doctor at your next visit.
Some medications cause constipation and sometimes there is other stuff going on.
I'd incorporate prunes ( I forgot about prunes until mentioned above !) In your daily diet to see if that might help for now.0 -
How about fats in your diet? Are you going fat-free everything? Make sure you're getting enough good fats in your diet - just as important as water and fiber.0

Lots water, prunes, fruit in general and fibre. Bran cereal, figs are good too
Sounds like you could do with seeing your doctor0 -
Yes i do try to avoid fat, now i will eat more than usual thank you @AmyRhubarb

Enough fat, fibre, water and exercise are the first things to try.
Magnesium citrate can help.0 -
What does water do to help you poop?0
-
Sure, even supermarkets stock them.0
-
You can purchase magnesium citrate just about anywhere. Walmart, Walgreens, Dollar General etc0
-

Don't be afraid of fat! Fat doesn't make us fat, too many calories do. We NEED some fat in our diets, this whole fat-free phase is a thing of the past, and has had many of us bamboozled for far too long. It's good for the brain, helps us feel full and satiated, and can help in the "plumbing department"! I have been around here for several years, and this is a very common post from a lot of new users, people starting a new way of eating and cutting way too much fat from their diets.
Personally, I'd start eating some raw nuts, avocados, adding olive and coconut oils, butter, full fat Greek yogurt and things like that before taking the laxatives. Coffee or hot tea in the morning can also help get things moving. And if you tend to be a cold water drinker, try going for room temp, at least until you get past this - warmer liquids are said to be better to get things moving. Best of luck to you - being in that condition is no fun!0 -
I actually just bought a squatty potty and really love it. It's a little embarassing at first to tell people that, but it has made a huge difference for myself and my SO. I recommend it, if anyone is interested.

My aunt swears that too much fiber can cause constipation. I went on a high fiber/low fat diet once and she insisted I was going to get a bowel obstruction.0

There's a urine color chart floating around here somewhere. Basically as long as it's clear to very light yellow you're properly hydrated.0 -

Ummm...I usually get thirsty and if I'm dehydrated my lips are dry, my pee turns dark yellow, and my skin loses its elasticity. But, I'm sure you already know these things.0 -

Cosigned- fat does not make you fat.
A calorie deficit causes weight gain.
Don't be afraid to eat fats op !0 -
