Read at your own risk.....seriously.
Its totally disgusting but I have to share, because today I experienced the most horrible two and a half hours in my living memory.
So I've been totally constipated from the prenatals, its been like over a week. Totally uncomfortable and makes me already look pregnant.
Anyway, for lunch this afternoon my sister made what my body thought it wanted.....an egg salad sandwich, which tasted amazing.
Anyway, about a half hour after I ate it my stomach started seizing in on itself and you could hear the most awful "this is going to be the worst runs" noises gurgling from it. And I'm thinking, "oh no I have three seconds to get to eh bathroom" Only I had about and hour and a half of agony and I've had the runs before and food poisioning and this felt like the latter of the two. But because I was so constipated, the runs were stuck behind what I had eaten for the entire week! So I couldn't just have the runs and be done with it, instead I had to deal with the worst dietary distress I've ever been in for over an hour!
I had to open my sister's shower and throw up into the bath tub while sitting on the toilet. I thought I was going to die. It was sooooo painful. I won't tell you how it ended, but I will NEVER eat egg salad again! (which is a shame because I loved it) and the jury is still out on eggs in general. Ick just thinking about them makes me want to barf and run and hide!

Oh, that sucks! I'm sorry that made you feel so crappy.
I've dealt with chronic constipation and IBS for the past 8 years and routinely go through the "I have the runs but it's blocked by poo that takes a little more effort to get out" feeling. Those are good days, though, because I usually get to poo about 4 times even though it's hella painful.
But I digress, feel better soon!
My stupid doctor won't let me take it and prune juice makes me vomit!
aww that sucks though maybe it was a semi good thing cause it "flushed" out your system? maybe? ok probably not sorry.
My prenatal have a stool softener in them so I **Knock on Wood** haven't been constipated.
UGH I'm having this same problem every week! Pre-prego, I had constipation issues, but now I can only go once a week...and it ends up almost like you described, minus the vomiting. I can't wait to get to my doctor to ask her for something to keep me regular!! I seriously eat apples, prunes, applesauce, etc. every day, but nothing helps until that one horrible day :O
This is totally awful but thankfully you were at your sisters house and not at work or doing errands.
I have been eating 5 dried apricots a day (read it on here actually) and I really think it has helped.
