Ok - so I am currently 7 weeks pregnant, and I started taking Zofran 1-2 times/day about a week ago. I dont really NEED the Zofran, but it works wonders for my food aversions and queasiness. I think I just get nauseous from having an empty stomach, I can get something to eat and feel overall fine again.
I have never had issues with bowel movements, until now! I haven't had a BM for about a week now. I'm used to taking (rather large - sorry, TMI) at least one BM a day.
So I drank 3/4 of a bottle of mag citrate earlier this afternoon, and NOTHING! I am a nurse, and I have bowel sounds in all 4 quadrants, so I know it's no an obstruction. I'm just paranoid and need advice.
What helps constipation? And I will add - any other time I've ever taken mag citrate I have a BM within 3-4 hours. This is never happened.
Re: Zofran and Constipation - HELP!
For the constipation I would try pear juice and prune juice, movicol and coloxyl and senna (if you are feeling brace we give this cocktail to patients at work and it clears them out)
I take a tbsp of milk of mag now and generally poop within 4-6 hours.
