Constipation and excess flatulence?
446166
If you doctor OKs it, you might try adding a "good" bacteria product to your diet. You can buy lactobacillus capsules anywhere you buy vitamins or you could just try eating a package or two of live-culture yogurt every day.  (Just make sure the yogurt says "live culture" on it.)

Its strange, go see a doctor.  My guess would be excess gas or food allergy...;

Go to the pharmacy and ask a Pharmacist.. Or you could wander up and down the medicine aisle until you find a product that says LAXATIVE or STOOL SOFTENER.. \n\n--dietary habits like a low intake of dietary fiber or inadequate amounts of fluids also could be your problem..\n\n--intervention is the increase of fluids (preferably water) and dietary fiber. The latter may be achieved by consuming more vegetables and fruit, whole meal bread and by adding linseeds to one's diet\n\n--Laxatives may be necessary in people in whom dietary intervention is not effective or inappropriate. Stimulant laxatives (e.g. senna) are generally avoided, as they may worsen crampy sensations commonly experienced in constipation

Constipation?\nYou may want to urgently get more fiber in your diet, eating spelt flour pancakes often, cut them into noodles for soups, fill them with jam or vegetables, fruit or left overs. Chew well.\n\nWhite flour items may make you constipated. Avoid.\n\nMore fiber also makes necessary to drink more. Purified water, green tea, herbal teas.\n\nConstipation has been helped often in one session by Color*MedicineTM, Dinshah color Yellow! Also Natrum Sulphuricum, a homeopathic Tissue Salt.\n\nBloating? Dinshah color Orange and/or Magnesium Phosphoricum (Tissue Salt, health food store).\n\nVegetables have a lot of fiber, too, so have fruit. Lentils, beans, too, and prunes. Eat some daily.\n\nLess fiber: meat and animal products in general. Reduce or eat with fiber foods only.\n\nYou may also want to get some enzymes to help digestion.\n\nRobert Gray composed a colon bacteria food, for the bacteria to help digest our food and make Vitamin B12 for us. You may ask in your health food store, brand something with horizon. Tastes great with Avocados.\n\nSpeedy recovery and staying "current."\nCordially, India.Magica

How long have you had this problem?  There are many different things you could try such as:  Incorporate more fiber in your diet, eat more raw and cooked vegetables and fruits, eating whole grain breads or whole wheat breads and crackers, eating whole grain cereals.  Drink plenty of water so your bowels can move better.  Exercise, take walks or go to a gym.  Drink a small glass of apple juice before going to bed.  If none of these things work out for you and you still remain constipated, then you need to make an appointment to see your doctor.  He or she will be able to determine what is the cause of your bowel problems and perhaps prescribe something that will be useful.\n\nI hope I was helpful.  Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

Lots of protein in your diet will cause you to fart a lot. Eggs have tons of protein. So, maybe.

In opposition to above, You DO NOT stop taking medications that can cause constipation.  What about the other reason, That is just nonsense.  Now to take care of your constipation. Drink lots of water and eat foods that are high in fiber or use a fiber substitute like Benefiber or Metamucil. Since you have taken a laxative, you may want to try taking a laxative that includes a stimulant like Ducolax or Sennakot.  These will help stimulate your colon to push it out.  Also, i'm sure you have probably been straining to defecate since you have been stopped up for a week.  You may want to try using a glycerin suppository as well as these ohter things to help lubricate your sphincter when your poo is on its way out.  This way you will lessen the chance of causing hemorrhoids and it wont hurt so bad.  Good luck, And drink lots of water :-)

severe constipation is the main problem

Yes.  Not only is this true, it is also possible to vomit and defecate at the same time!!  That is not a pleasant thing to do, so don't try it.

Flatus (passing of gas) is common but varies a lot between individuals.  It is possible that your boyfriend has a medical problem (like a food allergy, lactose intolerance, or difficulty digesting bean products), but it's more likely that he's just more "windy" than other people you know.  If he has other associated symptoms (constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain) then he should see a doctor and get checked out.  If it's a "simple" digestion problem, he can try eliminating foods one by one (try dairy products first) and see if that helps.  There are also over-the-counter remedies for some problems (like Bean-O, for helping to digest bean products).

Go to a drug store buy some stool softener or laxatives and see if that helps. If not then you must see a doctor.

Guess u mean stools ,as in faeces or poo! Sounds like you don't only have a fast car but a fast metabolic rate ,maybe. Its most properly a dietary related thing .Stay away from hot and spicy food alcohol,citrus juices .Check out a health web site to get an appropriate diet. If it continues longer than a week ,better check it out with your doctor. Watch for sighs that your  not passing blood,if so get to your doctor tomorrow. Sorry to hear about your "ring of fire".

It depends on the person. If you feel uncomfortable and bloated, you may be constipated and getting more fiber in your diet may help.\n\nFor most people, once a day is the norm.  Some more, some less.  The best thing is to think back to the last time you felt "normal" and try to remember how often you went then. If you're going less now, then add fiber - in the form of fresh fruits, raw vegetables and whole grains - to your diet.\n\nActually, that would be good for anyone, whether they're constipated or not!

Just go get a colonic. It's not gross at all.  I haven't had much luck with herbs and stuff--mostly they are just laxative-type products which make me sick, not feeling clean and slim like a colonic does.
