Zofran, Constipation & Nausea

rainbows · May 2014

I dont know if this is a rant or a question but .... I started taking zofran on Wednesday. OMG, its amazing! Well I didnt have a bowel movement on Thursday, no big deal, i havent been eating much, pick up some fiber one bars just in case. None on Friday either, kinda need to poo now. Went out and bought Metamucil because prunes are sweet and with my sugar aversion decided to try something different. No dice! Tried more Metamucil and fiber this morning and some colace. Drank some milk, because im lactose intolerant that usually makes things move real quick, nada! Sipping on warm lemon water now, the sour is helping the nausea, but not the lack of pooping.

Ive tried adding fruit or a salad to every meal, because if I can get things going I want to stay regular, but I just cant get it going.

SCREW YOU ZOFRAN. The nausea from the constipation and the constipation is way worse than the nausea was.

Anybody else having this issue and what are you doing about it if you do?

I'm constipated and I'm not taking zofran. It's awful, it's something I struggled with through my entire pregnancy with DD as well. Water, stool softeners and metamucil is what I do and it helps a lot. Ugh! Its awful!

I'm on zofran since Wednesday and I'm not any more constipated than I was before. Don't have any advice other than fiber every day.

I had terrible ms with DD and tried zofran but it made me so constipated that my stomach hurt something terrible. I finally decided I could handle the vomiting if it meant I could poop lol.
