Answer 1

I'll go with Devin's reply..the old standby, the plunger.

EDIT  Go with Rousseau..she knows her stuff (seriously) She is a butt nurse in real life.

Answer 2

Support your feet with a small step stool [about 6in.] when you sit on the toilet. This will help flex your hips and place your pelvis in a more normal "squatting" position for having a bowel movement.

If you are still constipated:

Add some processed or synthetic fiber-such as Citrucel, Metamucil, or Perdiem-to your diet each day.

Try a stool softener, such as Colace, if your stools are very hard.

Try a rectal glycerin suppository. Follow the directions on the label. Do not use more often than recommended on the label. Do not use a suppository while you are breast-feeding unless your health professional tells you to.

In difficult cases of constipation, it is better to try a saline (osmotic) laxative, such as Fleet Phospho-Soda or Milk of Magnesia or Lactulose. You should not take these types of laxatives if you are on a sodium-restricted diet or have kidney problems or high blood pressure. Osmotic laxatives do not irritate the colon or cause dependence on laxatives like stimulant laxatives can

Answer 3

255 gram canister of Miralax mix with Gatorade

4 Bisacodyl tablets... you should also be on a clear liquid diet for a day or 2 before taking the aforementioned.

Take the tablets 3 hours before drinking the Miralax.

Make sure your BP is ok to take in all that sodium.

Answer 4

a plunger

Answer 5

When all else fails, it's best to use what always worked for generations -- good ol' prunes jarred in their own juice. It works every time.

Answer 6

You will have to use something a little stronger, obviously. Perhaps castor oil, serious stuff. I assume you would need to contact a physician before doing anything else.

Answer 7

try a colonic.

Eat foods rich in fiber. Bulky foods. You can also fast for a day or so. drinking fluids to clean out your system. GNC has a bodycleanse which cleans you out good.

Prunes and mineral oil are also very good. Not nice but good for your problem. The doctor made a very valid point there.
