Constipation?

---

I was wondering if anyone had any at home remedies that can help with constipation in my 3 month old. He pooped early Monday and hasnt pooped since. I am breastfeeding and I can tell he is really gassy and cant poop, It seems like he tries but nothing happens.

Thanks!
Breastfed babies can go for up to a week without having a bowel movement! Your milk is so perfect that there is just less waste to dispose of! I wouldn't worry about it untill it has been over a week. Then I would call your docter. I wouldn't try introducing a bunch of "home remedies" if I were you. My guess is that your baby is fine and will produce a stinky in a day or so.  (+ info)

Ive been constipated for 4 days already.... Is there any home remedies to cure constipation??? please help very painful
drink hot water, with a little lemon juice hourly. it will stimulate the intestines. soaking in a hot bath will also help.

You can also get glycerine suppositories to help stimulate the rectum or little sliver of soap the size of the tip of you little finger, pushed in the rectum will also help move things along.  (+ info)

CONSTIPATIOn?

I have had constipation for more than ONE MONTH. I have gone but i need laxative to go. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. The doctor told me i just need to exersise more and eat fiber, TWICE. WHAT THE HELL?!? I do not think this is a small thing, but what do i know? i need help. I have even thought about stopping eating so i dont have to deal with it.
I AM 14 YEARS OLD AND THIS IS PISSING ME OFF.
Make sure to drink lots of water and eat veggies and roughage. Don't use laxatives regularly or your system will not work without them.You can use a fiber pill for a while until your body gets straightened out but stay away from the laxatives.Water helps a lot and exercises will also. Best wishes.  (+ info)

Hi i have REALLy bad constipation prob. I tried everything!! I ate fiber, prunes, prune juice warm water, veggie and fruit juices, warm water, flaxseed, laxavates.... EVRYTHING. I have been like this for 3 days!!!! what should I do????????? THX! no making fun plz!
If you have had no stool passage after all of these remedies, it may be time for a fleets enema.

Should you have results after the enema, I would continue the practice of having plenty of fiber and water in your daily diet.  (+ info)

CONSTIPATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

I was born with Bowel Conditions, I can never go to the toilet properly without taking my Laxitive. Sometimes i forget to take it, Sometimes i just cant be bothered to take it, (My fault) i know.
Its called Dulcolax, Sodium Picosulfate. If i dont take it for like 2 weeks i dont go to the toilet for days on end. When i take my medicene after 2 weeks of not taking it, it gives me cronic pains in my stomach and anus, and is it even normal to be able to feel the fecal matter in your stomach with ur hands???
Btw i'm 15 if that helps??
Is there a question in there? You stated that you keep doing the same thing over and over and yet surprised when the same results occur each time. Being 15 doesn't help. At age 15, it's time to accept responsibility for being able to take your medicine.  (+ info)

How can I help my wife from constipation?

---

She's been occasionally suffering from constipation. Is this not because she is already 57 years of age? Is it because at our age, digestive system starts to malfunction? And could constipation go to cancerous case?
Many people suffer from occasional constipation. Usually constipation isn't a serious matter and is correctable and preventable by making a permanent change in eating habits and lifestyle. Increase dietary fiber, water intake to 2-3 liters/day, and increase phsyical activity. The occasional (and I stress occasional) use of a stool softener or laxative is fine. She can speak to her doctor about this and her constipation.

Constipation is more common in people over the age of 65.
Whether this will lead to cancer or whether the constipation is due to cancer, remains to be seen. There would be other signs and symptoms. At this point, I would not be concerned about it. If her constipation becomes chronic or cannot be remedied by my suggestions, she should report this to he doctor.  (+ info)

What is the difference between constipation and severe constipation?

---

I want to know what is the difference between constipation and severe constipation, as far as definition. causes and symptoms.

Thank you
Constipation is where you have to strain to get the stool out.

Severe constipation is where you need to take medical or physical action to empty the bowel.

Both have the same essential cause which is slowed transit time in the bowel leading to dehydrated, hardened stools.

Here is the link to the bristol stool chart - with sufficient fluids and fibre a normal stool is a 3, 4 or 5.

Can Soy Milk cause constipation? What are the affects of drinking too much soy? Foods that help constipation?

---

I have bad constipation and bowel problems, and I'm also lactose intollerant (milk makes my constipation worse), so I've been drinking 4 glasses of soy milk a day, eating soy cheese, and drinking a soy protein drink. Is that too much soy, and does soy cause constipation? I take magnesium and miralax for the constipation, but what foods might help the constipation (besides prunes)?
Soy milk/products might, because it has a lot of protein in it. Try All-Bran buds in the morning with just a bit of your soy milk, and try to drink a lot of water as well.  (+ info)

What can a gal with gastroparesis do to ease constipation from lack of fiber?

---

I have recently been diagnosed with postviral gastroparesis. Although I am tolerating the low fat low diet fairly well (oh how I miss fresh veggies and loathe baby food!), I have developed a strong tendency towards constipation. I believe this is due to the "low fiber" part of my diet. I am a little concerned about this because of a strong family history of colon cancer, and fiber is said to help prevent it... What can I eat or take to relieve the constipation?
Hey, I'm very sorry about your recent diagnosis. I also have gastroparesis. My gastroenterologist recommended Miralax to me. I haven't tried it yet because I haven't had problems with constipation, but it's supposed to be a mild, but effective laxative. I know what you mean about baby food... ugh! I prefer blended up soups now to baby food, except the fruit ones are ok. You should check out the yahoo group for gastroparesis. They offer a lot of support and advice for fellow patients. The link is http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/gastroparesis/. They are a wonderful group and it's a great place to vent when you're having a rough day. Good luck to you.  (+ info)

How do i relieve my 1 month old from constipation?

---

I have a 26 day old son and he suffers from what i believe to be constipation. He only stools once a day if not every 2 days. I believe its constipation because a few hours before he does poop,he gets fussy,cries a lot ( he only cries before pooping) and nothing i do comforts him.He feels better & stops crying and smiles again right after he poops.
