Severe constipation! Please help!?!


Question: Severe constipation! Please help!?
I haven't had a substantial bowel movement in five days (I've had maybe two that were just little "pebbles", very, very small). I've taken five Fleet laxative pills in the past three days and I have also been using Miralax. My stomach hurts and I'm not eating normally. I think my mom is starting to get worried and would probably be willing to take me to the hospital. What do you guys think is wrong with me, is there anything I can do to get his poop to budge, and at what point do I need to start worrying abut toxicity? Thanks!

Answers:

Drink 8 glasses of water (3-4 bottles), eat 5 cups of vegetables everyday, and exercise for 30 minutes everyday. Foods that are ideal to treat constipation are pears, strawberries, and anything with fiber. Iron helps a lot too. I reccomend you go see a doctor since you say you haven't went for 5 days. You should try herbal medicine instead of doctor's prescriptions. Go to vitacost.com and type "constipation". It will give you a list of herbal medications at very low price.



Drink lots of water. Even fiber needs water to push it through! BE CAREFUL using too many laxatives...they can lead to more problems if abused.



Try vinagerized foods



try eating more veges and fruit and drink lots of water
