Lovely Constipation

What did you take for constipation? Anyone try a glycerin suppository? I have already tried milk of mag, colace, water, & fiber is not working. The zofran is not helping either.

    Or, last night I got desperate and ate dodgy street meat.  I live in Beijing.

    That got things moving pretty quick!

    Grapes... eat a lot of grapes and it'll make you go... you can freeze them too and they're a great healthy snack / dessert!  mmm

    prunes, thai food, or if you're really desperate, drink juice with vegetable oil mixed in (juice hides the oil somewhat and its really effective).

    WATER!! Lots of water; 10 to 12 cups he said (that's alot!). OB explained that the reason women get constipation during pregnancy is the shortage of water. Our body is sucking water from every possible source, which unfortunately includes the intestines. By providing an abundance of water, it should keep your body from sucking up its own water and aid digestion. Also heard exercise helps. Both these have gotten things moving for me.

    I have been having a lot of trouble with this.  Last night I made a big salad for dinner (ok, that was before the pizza).  A few hours later, well...I'm sure you can guess what happened.  I also picked up some fiber capsules, but I havent taken them yet.  Good luck!
