Are you supposed to apply vaseline while inserting suppository ?
Just as a curiosity , what happened to the practice of Enema which was prevalent in our childhood ? It was one of the most embrassing solution for constipation !

Hi there,

I suffer severe Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and tonight i have eaten almost a whole packet of prunes over several hours and yet stil no bowel movement. Can anyone please tell me how long it takes for prunes to clear your system out. I do not have a bowel blockage or obstruction either, as i have opened my bowels but only released little pellets of stools.

Help anyone!!!!!!

Have not had a bowel movement for almost a week now.

I need help. I think I am bullimic but with laxatives. I have an eating disorder realising that I have been using laxatives to ‘feel’ better after eating alot for the day. I have been on laxatives for a year and a half after constipating or feeling ‘guilty’ after eating alot. The package recommends adults to take 2 every two weeks. But I have gone to the point where I need to take 30pills just to flush my bowels down my system. I want to stop but I dont know how to. I now feel bloated and gassy. Its been two days since im off dulcolax. I am too afraid to go to the doctor to see if there is anything wrong with my insides. I feel depressed all the time. What should i DO? can I detox and will my body function back normally?

- help

Okay, so I took a laxative around 12 Eastern time today (It is ten now) I have went to the bathroom once, but it was only an hour after taking the pill. It says it does not work for 6-12 hours since its for overnight relief.
Now my stomach hurts really really bad (I dont feel like I am going to throw up, but it aches. almost like period cramps but worse), and I was wondering if it was normal.

~~Oh my god, my stomach feels HORRIBLE.. mostly cause I’m constipated… awks… so, hm, I downed a 25 ounce bottle of Gatorade along with 4 doses of Myralax to help speed up my cure of constipation, and after i drank them, pumped… “pumped” my stomach with a belt, made sure everything- most everything- got into my intestines as fast as possible. Well, the recording is… kind of good.. at about 3 minutes or so I start squeezing the right side of my stomach to push everything to the left where I was recording ^^. And…. yeah, can’t wait for my intestines to start moving around..

Commercial parody for the latest weapon against severe constipation. Use this pill with extreme caution!!!!

Drinking coffee to use as a laxative is not recommended by Dr. Group, find out what’s the safest way to promote bowel movements.

When a cat needs a laxative, a product called Laxatone is appropriate to feed them, as it is a mineral oil-based product that helps to loosen the bowels.
