Earlier today there was a post about poop, or the lack of poop. I just downed a huge glass of prune juice....so how long before I know if that works or not? How much prune juice do you need to drink for it to make you poop? Next step is the milk of magnesia. My dr. said that was ok to try. Colace isn't working, drinking lots of water, eating lots of fiber, eating greasy food...nothing is working. No poop here since Wednesday. I'm growing desperate!
Re: How long before prune juice = poop?
I didn't down the prune juice, but I ate the recommended 5 pieces of prune and pooped within a few hours.
Warm tea or coffee helps, as does walking.
Hmmm, I should think a glass would be plenty. I would hope it would work sometime tonight or early am. I would pile it all on along with it, 2 colace, water, fruit, a walk. Some very hot drink. I can't stand being backed up.
If nothing works, I would think you'll have to attack it from the south end soon. Not a fun thought, but relief is so so worth it.
Good luck girl.
Sorry, I couldnt resist. Being backed up sucks. I hope it passes soon.
LOL Kate!! That's totally me!
When I would have issues and ate 5 prunes..it never took more than a couple hours. I would also try some hot tea.
I have the complete opposite issue w/ my pregnancy.
