Severe Constipation, Taking Sufficient Water While Dieting. Any Help?
Haven't been drinking enough water while dieting. I have not been able to pass any significant waste. (Stopped up). Since I have noticed the problem I have been drinking a lot of water and tried over the counter milk of magnesia. That just gave me the runs. I can feel that I have a big load waiting to be pushed out...but it just won't come out. I also tried an home fleet enema. Any help? Thanks

Hi,
It seems that by doing dieting you might not taking proper food and bulky diet and not taking enough water giving rise to absolute constipation.
Take plenty of water.
Take plenty of green vegges containing more fibers.
This wont give much calories so it wont come in your way of dieting.
Take laxative daily at night.
If require go for enema.
Ok and take care.
