Kay, quick tip for constipation!

[Guest guest]

I just remembered something, in response to a listing on another board.

Sometimes drinking hot water has triggered pooping in me, as I

discovered when preparing for an ultrasound while I was pregnant.

Instead of drinking cold water, I drank a bunch of hot water. Caused me

severe abdominal cramping, felt feverish and like I was about to pass

out. Just barely made it to the bathroom in time, then had diarrhea.

Now, that was after drinking a quart of hot water, so perhaps you

wouldn't want to drink that much, but a cup or two might get things moving.

Thanks for the top Eleanor!

I did go to the store yesterday and I picked up the flax seed meal, I

added it to my meal last night of tofu and rolled up turkey with some

cream cheese. I put it on the cream cheese and it was mighty tasty.

I took two more stool softeners and well we will see what happens

today.

The directions on the box said it would make a loose stool up to 72

hours. We shall see....I am at 32 hours from my first dose at this

point.

I will try the hot water when I get home tonight. I also picked up

some " moving along " tea and will try that as well.

Anything to avoid having to take another supository. YUCK!

Thanks again!
