Help Please! I am so freaking miserable. :(

Okay I am going nuts here. I have not pooped in a week. NOTHING is working and I am trying to prevent going to the doctor. So far I have tried upping my water intake which is already more than recommended, I've tried prunes, laxatives, apple juice, upped my fiber intake, and a freaking enema. NOTHING is coming out, not even gas. I am miserable and don't know what else to do. My belly and back are killing me. Every movement hurts.   I've only been constipated once, and I was pregnant with DD.   I know it's gross, but I have no idea what else to try so I figured I ask here since poop is no big deal on parenting sites. LOL!

coffee maybe??

Talk to a doctor. You may have an obstruction.

There could be a blockage its time to talk to the doctor hun.

Hydrocolonic?

I've gotten them done a few times. Best thing ever. I don't get constipated, I did it to remove old stuff and bloat.

Sooooooooooooooooo wonderfullllllllll. If they weren't $75 per session I'd do them all the time.

I would go see your doctor if nothing is working. You could try Senna tea.. At one point laxatives didn't work for me but Senna tea did.

Yeh def talk to a doctor if all that hasen't helped at all O.O I've been constipated my whole pregnancy and so far the only thing that has worked was taking a magnesium supplement with colace daily

Hot coffee or hot chocolate always does the trick for me!

How about a suppository? I got constipated like that once. I was already in the hospital due to complications in my pregnancy but after likeee 8 days of trying everything else I finally tried a suppository and it worked. Good luck!

Miralax.

But seriously talk to your doctor..your issues will just get worse. Keep up with the water though.

Laxatives didnt work for me. & after it gets past a couple days, nothing worked. I had to go to the er one time for an enema. Most embarrassing thing ever! But it felt so good! All I do is drink water now! If you're pregnant, it could be prenatals...

Bowel obstruction is no bueno! My step father knows a man who died a few years ago from it.. his insides basically exploded and had poop leak into his body.. it was coming out of his mouth and everything.

Makes me never want to eat again...

I am worried endo has wrapped around my intestines and is blocking.   I forgot to mention I did try black coffee and dark chocolate. I have IBS, so my poop is always runny.   This is horrible.

You really need to go to the doctor or if the pain is that bad go to the ER. I had to do it when I was pregnant.
