have you done a fleets enema ....

So you are having trouble going? Or you can't stop going? BM's, that is.

If you are impacted, you should get to an emergency room. Does your GI doc know that you are sick to your stomach and throwing up? You should not have to feel that way until Thursday.

My issue is that I am completely blocked up. Yes I have done a fleets enema... it seemed to help that night but the next day I was completely blocked up again. I haven't been able to go sense I did the fleets enema Friday night. I am going to try another tonight.... not that the first one helped for long but... worth a shot.

My GI is on maternity leave. The covering is an idiot. I told him I was impacted and he told me to take fiber and call him in a few weeks. It took me a 20 minutes on the phone with him to get the appointment Thursday. I don't really think I have a choice but to wait until Thursday. I can't go to the ER without doctor approval first, or my insurance will not pay.

try some vigorous exercise drink lots of water and you better clean out your system asap.
You should go to the emergency room where they can give you an enema to completely clean you out

Seriously, I would go to the ER regardless of $ or find a competent doctor until yours gets back. I was once told in the ER that if you are throwing up while impacted that it's your system reversing your waste because it has nowhere else to go. If it still has no where to go your bowels can rupture and kill you. A DOCTOR told me this. I've had a perforated bowl before that nearly killed me...was in the ICU for 2 weeks. Please seek help ASAP and hopefully you've found relief!

I hav been hospitalized several times for severe constipation . they just keep givng stuff till finally the dam breaks.. have you tried mag citrate . drink a bottle of that . get grape flavored and pour over ice . tastes awful but it works ...you can get at walmat

Thank you all for your suggestions. I got help from my primary care. I am still having constapation issues, but I am no longer impacted.

I cannot believe your doctor would suggest that you are impacted and not say..get immediately to ER. Well, I know why, he does not want another patient in the hospital he must check on.
So along with another person....get to ER if it has been more than few days.
Now...to be blunt here..if it is just where you can actually feel you have some ready to come out but it is just like you cannot push it out...than gentle enema can help or as gross as this may sound, you might have to just get in with your hand and remove really hard feces that block more normal ones. If you do this...really scrub your hands of course with brush etc.
But seriously, if you recently had surgery or you take laxatives on regular basis, often your intestines can stop working right and you get impacted and must be physically removed part, part enemas but with doctors care!
I have friend who does not have any normal intestinal issues but did have surgery and had not gone for few days at hospital, lucky he was there since he was so impacted it was ready to break though intestinal walls is how he said it. He had to have surgery to remove it and stayed in another week recovering from it. You might look on Dr oz's site about this as he talks about importance of feces and how often etc. But if you have any pain and not going...emergency room please!

i keep latex gloves around for when i have to digitally break up and remove my stool. unfortunately i hafta do so pretty often :(

I hope you got some help or went to er.
I have not seen anything new from you...just worried you are very sick. I hope not!

So, sorry to hear that you are in sooo much pain with constipation, I also get very backed up due to my meds etc. I have for a long while been drinking alot of bottled water daily which does help alot. Also, I also make sure I have a daily bowl of Fibre 1 (honey clusters) It is an excellent cereal and sure keeps me regular daily now, also I use senokot "S" daily which the S stands for stool softener and it really helps me also. Just a few suggestions for now as it sounds like the blockage is pretty well gone. But starting right after I would surely suggest the above that I do regularly, I suffer with IBS daily, along with my fm, cfs, tmj,IBS etc. Anyway a good poop feels great when you are finally going, it is the most miserable thing and painful to have that constipation, Good Luck and I am sure everything will come out well in the end.
