Raisin Bran helps constipation!

DaveandKim08

Hi ladies,
I couldn't help but notice a lot of posts of horrible constipation. I had it for a few weeks too and it was awful. I started eating a bran cereal every morning and a hard boiled egg for more protein. I seem to be doing MUCH better, much more regular and feel better because of it.
Maybe it will help you too - Grape nuts, Raisin Bran, etc...
Good luck.

My grandma makes THE BEST rolls in the world, and finally gave me the recipe-- turns out, they're bran rolls! They totally don't taste like it, but they have been working WONDERS for my constipation. I'll post the recipe on here later, if anyone wants it! I just found them amazingly helpful because I can't stand just plain bran cereal or like Metamucil powder in water, so it was wonderful to find something to help my tummy.

I didn't even think of that, great idea! I am so tired of being constipated!! Pooping is my favorite, and I can't do it!!!!

Please share the recipe, is grandma okay with that?

Lol, I go old-school and just eat some prunes. The Sunsweet ones are yummy and juicy. 2-3 prunes a day is magical.

Thank you! I'd really like to poo. I think 90% of my posts in the last 24 hours have revolved around my desire to poo. How obnoxious! I am starting to annoy myself...

This exactly! I'm getting more miralax and some raisin bran on the way home from work today. This battle is about to end.

Nope. At least not to me, which may not be saying much..... I find it refreshing that I have someone I can discuss these things with. I can to the husband, but he doesn't get it like y'all get it.

@JoJo1111 - I'm at day 5... my doctor's office said my next step is an enema... gah! I'd rather have a suppository than an enema... I feel like it's the better of two evils... But they haven't confirmed if I can do a suppository instead of the enema... I'm afraid I am not far behind you!

I had some children's glycerine suppositories left from when my dd started solids. I would ask your doc and see if they are okay with it, way less awkward. Desperate times call for desperate measures!

Thank you!!

I HATE raisins, but this might work!

Regular Mini-Wheats usually worked, too.

I am so glad I started this thread, talking about poop is funny.

@ombradellarosa - I only know this because I'm obsessing about fiber right now, but the Raisin Bran Crunch had less fiber content than the original Raisin Bran cereal I believe. You might want to check the nutritional content between the two, but I'm pretty sure the other one had more fiber!

Oh blurgh! I was so excited to have the right thing in the cupboard too! Why would they do this to meeeeee?

Especially as we're all so interested in it!
