Can anyone tell me because I can not fiqure it out,
Why am I suddenly so constipated?
I am a year out on the 12th and have been absolotely fine ever since surgery.
I do take tylenol #3 and but I always have.
I have been taking correctol and Phylium by the barrel and ... nothing.
Dr. Lu ; ) was saying on another post about something being out of whack if you don't make regular big potty. I didn't want to hijack a post so I started my own.
Whats going on this has been a couple weeks with little result now.I'm concerned...
When correctol doesn't move you what will!!!!

In order to stay quasi-regular, or new normal regular I take: fiber supplements (Benefiber), softener (generic Colace), a psyllium product I got at Costco and eat a fiber cracker per day (GG Bran a Crisp) and a probiotic.
Oh, and you have to drink a butt load of water (no pun intended). Water makes everything move.
I was thinking my whole problem could be water.
I have long thought I am not getting enough. I have had cronic UTI' after my surgery which could be associated with water (flushing) too.
Could it be that my body is saying "Look it you if you didn't get it with the UTI's maybe you'll get it now that you can't do anything in the washroom at all!" (i am not gifted that way ; )
As for the big guns, bring them on, I'll do anything!
Funny though I never thought os Senna Tea as big guns though. I have done the phylllium (worke the first time and then never again) and the other stuff ; (
I'll get some Senna Tea if you think that will do it.
