why don't you want to take a laxative!? i have found one that is so gentle even pregnant ladies can use it!.
what you need is a stool softener!. there's one at the chemist called Coloxyl with Senna - it's both a stool softener and a laxative!. You take it at night and it takes about 8-12 hours to work!.
If you take 1-2 tablets, it will be just like passing a regular stool in the morning!.
If you take 3-4 tablets, you will need to go to the toilet maybe 2 or 3 times the next morning, so be near a toilet!.
how many tablets you take depends on how bad you need to eliminate!. don't take more than 4 in one night though!.
if you still don't want to take a laxative - you need to drink plenty of water!. stools need to be soft to pass!. and drink metamucil as well!. it will bulk up the stools and make it softer to pass!.
Additional - in answer to your question!. Stool softeners will soften whatever waste is in your bowel!. It can't soften things that haven't been digested yet! The stool softener will allow you to pass what hasn't been eliminated yet!. After you have taken it, to prevent constipation happening again - make sure you have alot of fibre in your diet!. drink metamucil each night before you go to bed and drink a lot of water and you will be okay the next time you have to pass a stool!
Re:being scared to take a laxative!. For a laxative to stop you from passing stools correctly in the future, you would need to be on laxatives long term!. You are only going to take it once, the coloxyl with senna is gentle, and you'll increase the fibre and water in your diet so you won't need to take laxatives again!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
