Constipation cures anyone????

Deanne Shehane

All the meds I took for the IVF cause the constipation and I'm already someone with that issue. I know, totally disgusting but I am losing my mind with the discomfort. The fiber supplements are just torture because they cause gas and bloating. I refuse to take those anymore. I have tried prunes and prune juice. That helped a little. I know to stay away from cheese and bananas. I drink lots of water and I walk a lot too. ANY help would be appreciated. Uugghh!!!!!!

I put flax seed oil and meal into everything - pancakes, raisin bran, salad, you name it!  Some of the other ladies on the IF board swear by Colace but I would check with your RE if you decide to go the medicine route.  So sorry you are feeling backed up!

Colace helped me when I was on iron supplements.

I really hope you feel better soon.

Anything Fiber One.  They have some yummy cereals and bars and yogurt too.  I have to say, though, that the original Fiber One cereal works the best (the one that looks like little sticks)  It works like magic for me!  (if it turns you off, maybe mixing the cereal with your cheerios or something to make it taste a little better - it's not gross, though)

Good luck!  I hope things get moving soon!

i know this is probably horrible but... i drank a 32oz coke every morning which of course forced me to drink about 24 additional oz of water and 12 oz of lactaid milk.  it kept me regular throughout the entire pregnancy.

hope something moves for you soon

I know it's an oldy, but you may want to eat some corn.  I am normally regular but tried a colon cleans with actually ended up backing me up.  LOL  I ate some corn on the cob and what do you know, it kicked in the next day.  I stopped the colon cleanse and took it back to the store!

My RE recommends colace, I take 1 in the am and 1 in the pm while on PIO. Good luck because constipation sucks!!!!

LOL you poor thing

I was thinking Fiber one bars too...I think they have like 9 or 10 grams of fiber and they taste great (the chocolate one does!)?
