Constipation problem?!?!


Question:

Constipation problem?!?

Ok, i said earlier in a question about vomiting four times. My dad won't take me to the ER until the morning and I can't handle it anymore because I feel like another is coming....


Answers:

You really don't need to make a trip to the ER, just to the drug store for something to open up your bowels. The ER should be saved for things that are life threatening. Vomiting and constipation are not reasons to seek emergency care unless you are vomiting blood. What I am going to tell you to do is exactly what the nurses at the hospital will do to you, but you will have to wait most of the day for it because this is not an emergency and they have to treat emergencies first. So save yourself the time and get relief a whole lot faster.

When your dad wakes up in the morning have him take you to the drug store and get 2 Fleets enemas. If you're not sure which ones to get, ask the pharmacist. When you get back home this is what you will need to do.

Print these instructions.

Lay on the floor on your left side. Remove the cover/cap from the enema bottle. The tube/tip is lubricated already. Now gently insert the tube into your rectum until the bottle is touching your rectum. Now squirt the fluid from the bottle inside of you. When it's empty, remove the bottle but be careful not to let the medicine squirt out of your rectum. Stay laying on the floor on your left side. Hold the liquid inside of your rectum for as long as you can... at least 3 - 5 minutes if possible. When you absolutely can't hold it in any longer get up and sit on the toilet and let 'er rip.

To prevent this in the future you need to make sure you not only get enough fiber in your body, but you also need to drink plenty of liquid to keep your stools soft.

Next time you are constipated try this method:
4 ounces of prune juice
2 ounces of milk of magnesia
mix them together, and heat them in the microwave until warm (not hot), and then drink it down. It will take a few hours to work, but it works.

This is what we do for patients in the hospital before we give enemas. But you are past the point of milk of mag and really do need an enema to open your bowels back up.
