Suggest Treatment For Constipation
Question: I went to the ER yesterday for horrible constipation, they said I was really really full! I drank magnesium citrate yesterday after getting out. Nothing happened. I took Ducolax this morning and I pooped a little but that was it. I ate a lot of fruit for lunch, Ive been drinking lots of fluids all day, I went on a long walk. My stomach is killing me right now, it is cramping horribly but nothing is coming. I've tried everything! I'm in so much pain! I called the doctor and i've done all they said. Please help!
Brief Answer:
Take more plum,pear,kiwi fruits/juice....
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am sorry for the horrible situation you are in.
In such cases, I advise my patients to consume more kiwi fruit, pear, plum juice. Within a few hours after consuming such fruits/juice, my patients have reported to get bowel movement. You can try and tell me what happens.
You can have some laxative candies; you can find them as over the counter medications. Take them every 2 hours for today together with diet changes.
You can try what I mentioned and can come back to me to see what happened and how I will assist you further!
Wish fast recovery!

I ended up buying an enema, it worked. Now I'm dehydrated and feel week. I'm trying to drink water but I drank too much earlier and don't feel well. What I'm gonna try and do now is eat fruit daily and activia yogurt twice daily. I'm planning to get a membership at the salvation army workout center here where I live.
My aunt has the same problem as me and she told me to give up wheat. Am I going in the right direction? Also those juices you told me about can I drink those without being stopped up? Will they help me? I don't ever want to go through this again!
Thank you!

Brief Answer:
Can try as following...
Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
Enema is a temporary solution to get bowel movements.
The fruits and juice I mentioned are permanent solutions. For the moment, you can take up to:
- 2 glasses of plum juice/day
- 4-5 pieces of pear/plum/kiwi per day
After your bowel movement will get back to normal again, you can take:
- up to 1 or half glass of plum juice/day
- 2 pieces of each fruits: pear/plum/kiwi per day
That should be a habitual use of such fruits/juice all life long. You should not drink more than 1 glass of plum/juice per day to avoid problems with potassium balance. With such portions, there should be no problem.
You can try if quitting wheat can help. You can try anything until you find what is causing constipation. Dairies (milk, yogurt, cheese) and banana can also aggravate constipation.
All the best!
