hey all,
so I made a new discussion because the other one was getting full. so I had a little scare about 1 week and a half ago with having the urge to go every 15 minutes and with mucus in my stool. but since then I have not had another BM. today makes 10 days I haven't gone. so I pushed myself really really hard to go today and a tiny tiny bit came out with blood. I'm really praying the blood is just from a hemroid from pushing to hard. my doctor ordered stool samples from me but I can't even go. I had blood in my urine earlier this week but haven't since. does anyone know what I can eat or drink that will make me go? I've been eating high fiber oatmeal cookies. I don't want to take any over the counter meds. I would like to stick with food.

Re: Constipation
I think you need to see a doctor if you haven't gone for ten days; otherwise you could end up with impacted stool, and nothing that you eat or any medication that you might take will help with that.
If your illness was preceded by use of a medication, e.g., an antibiotic, please fill out an FDA Adverse Event Report at http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/default.htm

Re: Constipation
Try prunes BUT I would get to a doc asap. Water is helpful so drink 8 glasses a day.
You do not want an impacted bowel. Again, see a doc.

Re: Constipation
10 days is a long time to not go. I would call your doctor right away and ask for instructions on what to do.

Re: Constipation
I have an appointment already this coming Tuesday. I have an ultra sound scheduled. I had it scheduled already before the constipation started. I'm just scared to take any over the counter medicine because I don't want to relapse. would laxative cause a relapse or anything medicated to help me go? I went a little tiny bit tonight and it was super hard with blood in it. sorry if it's tmi.

Re: Constipation
Listen to the advice and go to ER today, dont wait untill Tuesday.
Impacted stool is when it goes hard inside you and becomes too big to pass.
A hospital can easily deal with it but left alone it can cause serious problems.

Re: Constipation
Take nothing! You don't seem to understand that you're already in a problematic situation that's gone beyond being addressed by usual measures and is highly unlikely to do anything but worsen if you try to "treat" it yourself. If you're unwilling to go to the ER I predict it's only going to get worse.

Re: Constipation
Do not take anything without a Drs advice.
Like Allis said, you could make thing worse and end up in agony.
I doubt if this is c.diff related but you need to get medical advice today.
It might cause heamaroids the size of asteroids!
Jokes aside........See a Dr today
