Constipation, or something more?

Question

Everyone gets constipated from time to time, but this has been going on for about two weeks. I also don't think that my constipation has ever felt like this before.

To describe it, it feels like my a**s doesn't want to open fully anymore to let my bowel movements pass. It's a very frustrating feeling and I don't want to strain because I do want to cause hemorrhoids. Is this normal?

I've considered asking or going to a doctor, but It's simply embarassing to go have your anal region inspected. I'd really prefer not to.

I'm sorry you're in such pain mate..... really and truly drink loads and loads of fresh filtered water.

Diet can both prevent and cure constipation so eat more foods rich in magnesium as magnesium will increase the production of hydrochloric acid in your tummy and thus aid in digestion..... the more fibre in your diet from fruits, vegies, legumes and whole grains, the softer and the larger the amount of f***s will be passed.....  i eat loads of organic brown rice each day (about 2  bowls full) and never have a problem these days.

Magnesium is needed in the human body for helathy nerves and muscle functioning and for heart health. Magnesium rich foods will aide in eliminating constipation problems for you.

Eat more foods rich in this wonderfull little mineral ie: leafy and green vegies, organic nuts and seeds, wholegrain breads and cereals and cold water fishes such as tuna, salmon, sardines and whiting.

Magnesium is also known as the antistress mineral and will help you deal with stressy situations better.

Also, eat more foods rich in Vitamin C as vitamin C is a natural laxative ie: oranges, lemons and limes, leafy and green vegies, tomatoes, potatoes and red and green capsicums. Vitamin C rich foods will also bolster your immune system and help in lowering blood pressure.

Try to cut back on dehydrating drinks such as those containing caffeine ie: soft drinks and sodas, coffee, tea and also alcohol will dehydrate you...........for each can of soda or soft drink that you have your body can excrete up to 12 cups of water !! Caffeine is marginally better ~ for just one cup of coffee you need to replace it with 2 cups of water because the caffeine tricks our brains into thinking that we have ample water supply and encourages the body to urinate much needed fluid from our body!!

The use of laxatives will only exaspperate your problem and will do a brilliant job of robbing you of your B complex of vitamins (which are essential for healthy digestive, neural and immune system functioning) and also your vitamin C supplies. Also take a good quality multi B complex supplement as the B group of vitamins is essential for healthy digestive, neural and immune system functioning. As they are a water soluble complex our bodies can neither store or produce them. As such we need to replace them on a daily basis or suffer from the stress related side affect.

Drink loads of fresh filtered water too ~ at least 2 - 3 litres per day ~ as the happiest and healthiest body will always be the most hydrated one.

♥ For a temporary measure only put 1 teaspoon of baking soda into a glass of water, stir it up and drink up ......... be prepared to do a loud burp and you'll find that any tummy ache you had will be resolved within 15 minutes and your constipation will itself resolve within a few hours ♥ The baking soda will realkalise the contents of your tummy and help you move .......... it is only an aid to be used in an emergency though, as along with realkalising the contents of your tummy and giving you relief from the ghastly pain of constipation it will also neutralise your digestive juices (eat more foods rich in magnesium in future to encourage the production of digestive juices ~ i guess that's why my mom always used to tell me to eat my greens!!) ....... soooo, use it to relieve the pain now but in future you need to eat a bit better and drink more water mate.

caution ~ Don't use the Baking Soda remedy if you have high blood pressure as it contains an awful lot of chemically process salt.

hope this helps u

peace 2 u

Answer 3

First off medical professionals have seen it all... trust me on this. So there is no need to be embarrassed.

Constipation for 2 weeks is not a good thing, so do get seen.

In the meantime, cut out dairy products and caffine as they will add to the constipation. As well add a little bit more fibre to your diet (but do not overdo it) and drink 4 to 6 glasses of water per day. You can also walk about the house to help break up the fecal matter.

If this was just a one or two day thing I would recommend a stool softener, but in your case I think a Fleet e***a would be a better idea.

Do see your doctor right away.  

Answer 4

If you don't go to the hospital you may end up in serious condition.

Your body needs to expell that waste and toxins and if if doesn't you can become ill and die. I have heard of constipation causing the bowels to be released through the mouth. But by then a person will be dead. Please you need to get to the emergency room. Don't be embarassed when it comes to your health doctor's have seen and dealt with much worse.
