Constipation and bloating

Hi ladies, two day post op and the drugs have destroyed my system I have the worst constipation and senakot is not even touching the sides! My boob pain is nothing in comparison to my stomach it makes me sick to my eat and I literally have to fold myself over to stop my stomach cramping! Anyone got any remedies please help me!! Xxxx

Hi Hun, I suffer with constipation quite a bit and i always find that green tea, coffee, orange juice, pears and yoghurt help getting things moving and plenty of water, hope this helps a bit xx

Lactulose and drink mountains of water. It will pull water into the bowel and soften what’s stuck there and let you get it out. Go with max doseage on bottle.

Thanks girls will try these, had literally no sleep feeling like a zombie x

Hi I was the same as you and went to the pharmacy. They have me Dulcolax, I took them before bed and went next morning. Definitely recommend x

Hi Laura, I was constipated a couple of weeks ago just randomly. My doctor told me to buy Movicol from the pharmacy. It’s a satchet you dissolve in water. He told me to take one of those a day with 2 senakot. Try this for a couple of days and you’ll be back to normal

Keep moving and walk around loads too, it helps your bowels start moving again.
Hope you feel better soon. Xx

Thanks ladies, I think the drugs have just totally destroyed my system I can’t even really eat without feeling/being sick now my stomach has gone from constipated to diarrhoea over night!! God someone kill me now!! X

I was exactly the same for 5 days! It’s horrid. I had to stop eating meals because every mouthful either knocked me sick or felt like my tummy was going to explode! I had to come off all pain meds and lived of senakot, strong coffee and fresh orange and I was back to normal in 2 days. I’m 10 days po now and bloating has only just properly settled. Hope u feel better soon xx
