    I totally feel for you! I am in the same boat. I finally took Milk of Mag (cherry flavor) and I take colace every night before bed. Today was better for the first time in 5 weeks. Good luck!

    I've been eating lots of dried fruits (including prunes), and I'm finally starting to see a difference.

    When I was really backed up I drank a ton of prune juice then I went for a nice long walk and engrossed myself in some much needed shoveling *since it snowed up here*.

     

    15 minutes after I was done I amanged to go with little problems. The exercise really helped, the prune juice alone did nothing.

    Ditto the walking or jogging - that helps me a lot when my IBS kicks in.

    My OB said Miralax is the only thing that worked for her.  I eat prunes and take Colace, but drinking a lot of water is also key.

    My dr told me to take colace ( I think I spelled it right). Eat fruits like pears and papayas. Prune juice, fiber one bars and plenty of water. I hope you find some relief soon!

    I take miralax when it gets bad.  I'm thinking today is going to be a miralax day.  One scoop in a huge glass of apple cider and things will be moving within 12 hours.  Good luck!

    I have never really had to deal with this problem until now... Not even when I was PG with DD... But coffee DOES help.

    I have to echo MIRALAX!!!  Colace never works for me.  I put a little miralax in my cup of coffee in the morning, and I usually stay pretty regular.  Hope things get better soon!

    My doctor recommended all of the above. But the first thing on his list was flaxseed. You can get it the cereal isle by like the kashi cereal. He said just add a little to everything u eat. I add it to smoothies and my yogurt a lot. He also said if I wanted to stop taking my PNV cause there is a lot of iron in them. But I am also on a lot of extra vitamins. I still have not done that tho.
