Zofran constipation about killed me yesterday!

Yep title says it all! When they say it may be a side effect what they really mean is you feel like giving birth trying to poop!  LOL sorry for all you squeamish people out there:/ Diclegis and Zofran have been my savior but seriously yesterday was not fun!  I already take Colace daily, eat plenty of fruits/veggies, drink water.  Yesterday I had to try Milk of Magnesium which I guess worked a little?  What do you ladies do to deal with this? It is painful!

    Colace and only take the Zofran when I really, really need it.  I try to only take 1-2/day.

    And when I feel a shit coming on, I drop everything and run to the crapper.  I am not about to turn down a shit right now.

    I only take 1 Zofran a day! Can't imagine how it would be if I had to take more!

    I took the max dose of colace while on the zofran pump. It sucked. I feel for you. I finally had relief when I got off the pump.

    Yep, I had some episodes that made me feel like I was prepared for childbirth.

    I just kept taking colace, but don't think it ever worked that well. The only thing that helped me was actual childbirth (I was on zofran up until the end).

    Oh man.. the cramps and gas bubbles can knock you off your feet. I try to only take them when I desperately need it. And Miralax has really helped move things along.

    During my first pregnancy i had the same issue.  Called L&D nurse and she recommended i go to the store and buy an enema.. Hardest thing to give yourself.. and super uncomfortable.. but really helped! i was about ready to shoot someone before I went and bought it.

    Oh girl, I feel for you.  I was taking 3 Zofran a day because I was sick all day, every day.  And then I tried to poop.  I thought I was dying.  Not even an enema helped.  Since that episode, I stopped taking Zofran unless I ABSOLUTELY needed to, which is now about 1 every 2-3 days.  My OB said to take 3 Colace daily and Miralax every 2-3 days.  But even those won't help if you aren't getting enough fluids (they work by retaining water in your colon).  I'm still not super regular, but I haven't had any more near-death experiences.
