My problem iz with my stomach,i contacted a nurse and she told me to eat roughage but my stomach persists to be constipated.could u help me on chemical practices to use.
I was told that eating lots of spinach and cooked greens were great for constipation. Not in my case. When I eat them, I am more constipated than ever. I’ve tried metamucil everyday and it’s even worse. I’m tired of feeling like I’m in labor each time I am supposed to go. I have bloating and urges to go and because I’m so bloated all of the time, I urine a lot. I have bad smelling stools when I do have them which is seldom. I had a colonoscopy and they said everything is fine. What can I do?
I heard that prune juice is a great remedy, so I tried it. I drank 2-8 ounce glasses to make sure that it would work and man did it ever. So I hope that this is helpful!
