Re: A thread about constipation
That is actually what a lot of old ladies do if they have a rectal prolapse and cannot evacuate their stools..........must be the opposite of being born with a silverspoon in your mouth

Re: A thread about constipation
After 4 long pages I think we should try to vary things up a bit. Is anyone here finding they're going for a dump more often than normal? Maybe someone on the forum is currently inflicted with a case of the squirts, the details of which they could share?

Does anybody know whether there's been any movement yet?
These are meds I have to take on a daily basis.

Re: A thread about constipation
OK I may as well come right out with it...I suffer from constipation. Have always been that way...so does my mum and my sister. Anyway the gastro doc talked me into a new medication...one tablet twice a day. Just picked it up from the pharmacy...cost to me for 1 months supply $18 because we have meds insurance. Cost of 1 months supply without meds insurance...almost $300!!!!
My old meds have just come off prescription...I can now buy a month's supply from Costco for $16.
How can you justify spending $300 per month to take a s***?:curse:

jalapenos cost about 90cents per jar.

Re: A thread about constipation
The 'problem' is once your body starts getting used to more extensive measures, it can't really go back to just fruit juice, and exercise. Its just like any medication the more your body gets used to it, after a while it won't be quite as effective.

Re: A thread about constipation
You have no idea, anyone working with old people know its bowels, bowels and more bowels every day!
Had to search this one woman about twice a day as she'd nick a teaspoon from the meal, and use it for, digging out, as you can imagine the smell, and dirt over her, but when I took the spoon away, she would use her hands, you can imagine her nails.
I felt so sorry for her, as she ended up with no dignity but she couldn't understand we were only trying to help her (apart from the obvious hygiene issue) as her body got so used to it she couldn't 'push' anymore
All I felt I used to do there was give suppositories and enemas!!
BTW hope no one is eating reading this!!
