Answer 1

try a little more. there is nothing worse than the feeling of constipation. just a small amount more if u think some spilled

Answer 2

Try for one more day but if it doesnt get any better go to the doctor, he or she will give you medication that will instantly have an effect

Answer 3

i feel for you, yeah gross...anyway, the purpose of that is to soften your stool right? so that's why you're thinkin you have diarrhea.

Next time just look for a  ripe papaya fruit or eat lots of peanuts and drink lots of water.

Just do as prescribed or your a**s will get raw from going to much.

You poor thing... most of my life I have suffered with chronic constipation and it isn't pleasant!

Firstly, try the suppository again. This time, be sure to insert as much of the liquid as possible - yes, its gross, and yes it burns, but give it a go. If you still just get diarrhea, which is normally what happens with me, I would suggest that you may have a blockage higher up in the bowel rather than in the r****m (suppositories are generally used for lower bowel blockages and not higher up).

If this is the case, try asking your pharmacist for some Movicol (macrogol). It is a liquid drink that works wonders and has worked for me everytime I have been badly constipated (you think 3 days is bad - try 2 weeks!).

Other things I would recommend if you are prone to being constipated (me being one!) are:

*exercise - makes a huge difference!

*drink hot water in the morning

*caffeine and chilli can help some people

*eat plenty of fiber and plenty of fruit

*try to relax and stress less - stress is my worst enemy when it comes to being constipated!

These are all the things recommended to me by a Gastroenterologist! Good luck sweety and try not to stress out, it happens to ALL of us!!

Answer 5

As Meow said - try it again, if you can conquer your "yuck" reaction!  You won't overdose - many people take two of the solid ones at a time, and this is the equivalent.

Remember though, Meow was talking about the solid ones not the squeeze-bulb version - you don't insert and retain these!
