My goodness sweetie you should never take Exlax for that long. Did you mom know about this? My daughter is 11 and she isn't allowed to take any medication without me watching her.

You need to see a doctor. If your mom won't take you then talk to your father. If neither of your parents listen to you then I would strongly suggest telling a teacher, preacher, a friend's parent, an aunt or uncle but some adult who will listen to you and get you the help you need.

Plus since your mom googled about Exlax hopefully she'll have the smarts to take you to a dr herself.

I'll pray for you. But if you were my child I'd have in the ER ASAP.

You said your parents are at work then I'd would call them and suggest they come home to help take care of you. If they don't listen then call a friend's mom. Call a good friend of yours tell them what is going on. Then ask them to put their mom on the phone.

OR if while on the phone with your mom or dad tell them you feel like you help now. Cry if you must and tell them you are about to call 911 because you are feeling like you will die. If they STILL don't listen. Hang up and call 911.

Hunny you need to get to the emergency room asap!

Talk to your mom about how much pain this is causing you and demand to see a gastroenterologist (A doctor who specializes in the digestive tract) You need a colonscopy to rule out potentially serious problems. If youre colon 'shuts down' you cannot 'restart it' With this much constipation, you could be facing potential colon impaction which is fatal! Until then, try miralax, and go back to the doctor as soon as possible! If you think you may have irritable bowel syndrome, go to www.helpforibs.com where you can find some tips to speed up your colon.

Go to the doctor. Seriously. Go to the hospital.

i agree...go to the ER. It is not normal to be that backed up on a constant basis. There are many colon diseases out there, you know your body better than anyone else, if you hurt, you hurt. Get to the ER today.

whaaaat?!?

you need to call 911 !!! If your parents are not taking you that is serious child endangerment!!! So I suggest if they dont take you, you call 911 and have the ambulance take you.

Money is nothing and your life is everything.

Sweety, you are only 12 and you have so much more to see! Please get yourself help!

tell someone else, a teacher, anybody!
I wish I could help you :[
