Severe constipation :

spsp143 · May 2013

I'm 16 weeks pregnant and have been struggling with the most outrageous constipation sorry, gross! I've always had a tough time going but pregnancy has made the issue 1000x more severe! I eat fruit every day, drink lots of water, and am moderately active and still nothing! I do have an intense food aversion towards green veggies, which I'm sure is adding to the problem. My doctor said dulcolax was safe and I've tried it twice, no help. The only thing that brings relief is an enema! PLEASE tell me there are done more natural remedies!!!!!

I dealt with horrible constipation the entire 9 months with DS and am this time as well. I use miralax in my morning cup of coffee, eat prunes, drink a ton of water, eat lots of grapes and carrots and I still only go every couple days. I haven't tried probiotics yet, but I may soon.

I personally liked Benefiber.

Prune juice helps me and I'm also eating fiber one bars for breakfast. Things have gotten better

Magnesium is great. Most of us are deficient in it anyway. I use Natural Calm brand...you dissolve it in warm water and I mix it with orange or apple juice.
