Constipation question

Does cramping go along with constipation?  It's not normal cramping but it's not very painful. It's kind of like a cramp that you get while running, just more towards the pelvic area

    I think I know what you're talking about and yes, it's probably gas-related.  I also get a sharp pain during a BM - only when I'm backed up.  It's not fun!

    Yes. I wasn't sure how to describe it. I don't think I've ever been constipated so this is new.

    Unfortunately, I've always had a problem with constipation :( It's definitely no fun, but I would say that is what you're experiencing. I have had it get so bad that i have been doubled over in pain.

    I'd never been constipated before pregnancy, either. That sh!t (literally!) sucks. I get cramping and it's so nerve wracking--I'm always wondering if it's bowel cramping or uterine cramping. 

    I really like the Kellogg's Fiber Plus Antioxidant Chocolate Chip bars. They taste really good and they "work" for me. Also, pink lemonade Metamucil is much more tolerable than regular, if you need that. GL!

    Oh you just reminded me I have Benefiber that I used to help regulate me after DS was born.  I should add some of that to my water.

    I have found that the greatest way to take orange flavored Metamucil is with vanilla almond milk... It tastes just like a creamsicle. I absolutely love it!

    I will be trying this! Is it sad that I'm excited about it?! :)

    Normally that would sound fabulous but that just made me gag.

    This. I also get constipated pretty bad. If I stay away from dairy and eat either oatmeal or a bowl of Kellogg's Fiber Plus for breakfast (the pecan one with some unsweetened almond milk is flippin fantabulous!), it usually helps.  GL

    Oh yes... it can get very uncomfortable.  Even just from gas.
