Constipation?!?!

BabyBuddy15

Ugh! I just need to go and I can't. I'm planning on calling my midwife tomorrow and check, but have any of you ever taken a fiber supplement?

I took colace. Perfectly safe.

I took generic fiber capsules.  Non-stimulant.  Safe and also comfortable.

Once I started feeling like eating again, I just ate a big salad for lunch every day. All that roughage really got me going, so to speak.

Try prunes or prune juice.

Apples, avocadoes and coffee do the trick for me. Prunes are supposed to be helpful too. Avoid persimmons!

I've had this issue as well. Drinking at least 68 oz a day of water has helped a lot but when it's not enough I've used Miralax. Miralax for me works in about 30 min.

Apple juice. And water helped me

I'm having the same problem, I'm trying ground flax seed and psyllium husk mixed in with yogurt. So far it helping, feeling a lot better!

Coconut oil did the trick for me!

Somebody on here told me pear juice and it works like a charm! I put psyllium husk powder in my smoothies and protein shakes ( like a heaping tablespoon of it) and it has made a huge difference too

Water and benefiber worked for me until I was able to stomach more high fiber foods.

I had constipation so bad earlier this week that I left work in the middle of the day.  Went home and had a bowl of bran cereal and a glass of prune juice and had success within an hour.  I'm trying to eat foods high in fiber (raspberries, whole grain bread, dried apricots/prunes) along with drinking a small glass of prune juice each morning and that's kept things moving.  I called the doc and she said Colace would be safe to take and if that didn't work Mirilax.  Haven't had to result to either.  And I hope it stays that way.
