What do you suggest (maybe TMI)

I need to poop! I feel like I need to poop, I poop a little bit when I go to the bathroom but I want to clean it all out! I've never had this problem before so I don't know what to take. I don't have anything going on after I get home from work so I am hoping for suggestions that I can get on my way home from work and get this taken care of. What do you ladies take when you need to go and the normal fiber in you daily diet isn't helping? TIA.

Re: What do you suggest (maybe TMI)
Black coffee (or tea...hot liquids get things moving)
Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper (the red food coloring usually gives me diarrhea...TMI, I know)
Prunes (I eat them at night and have a bowel movement later that evening or by the next morning)
I take stool softeners and they have helped make it easier to go when the time comes.
Try taco bell, works every time for me
WHAT? I must have missed something.
yeah, that was pretty gross, why would you ever do that, then share it with thousands!!
I couldn't go for SIX days a couple months ago. I tried everything...colace, prune juice, etc. I finally took Milk of Magnesia (the max dose) for two nights and that did the trick. I hope you get some relief soon!
There is now orange juice sprayed on my computer screen! lol
Prunes or prune juice.
whenever I have this problem I take the max dose of cirtucel tablets and wash it down with applesauce. Ususually works by the next morning
or eat something greasy

I am not sure why, but tons of watermelon always does the trick for me.
Have you tried Activia yogurt? Or any yogurt? The active bacteria in yogurt helps keep people regular.
Milk of Magnesia works wonders for me!
I drink it at about 8pm and then when you awake in the am you go poop.
I tend to have some additional loose stools.
I will take those over being constipated any day!!
This is bringing back bad memories of when I stuck MY fingers in someone else's vagina to help with such evacuation needs....
shudders
Lets just say I am a REALLY good L&D nurse.....
PSA: Work on emptying your bowels before then!
I find metamucil does the trick, followed by a cup of hot water with lemon, seems to help get it workign better. Good Luck....
I don't know what you get paid at your job but after reading that I KNOW it is not enough! I broke my back 10 years ago and one of the nurses had to wipe for me while I was in the hospital...she was one of those mean, crabby nurses so I didn't feel too bad but I really hated to have someone have to do that for me!
Hehe. McDonalds worked for me too.
Stool softeners did not work
coffee did not work.
go with the nastiest food ever
Prunes (2-3 a day) are great during pregnancy...?
