What should i do if im constipated?
If you take a stool softener make sure you take that is not a stimulant. A stimulant will make you feel like your having labor contractions. Trust me, it's not fun. The one I use, and my daughter is Miralax, and I've used it with Colace. It may make you cramp if you are really constipated but not as bad as a stimulant. Also, I drink Simply Apple, which is straight juiced apples. Don't buy regular apple juice, it's not the same. Oh, I know how you feel! It hurts!! Good Luck!

Should I go to school if I'm constipated?
20 minutes after the New Years 2018 I couldn't poop. I still can I haven't pooped in a day and I feel my stomach getting bigger and making weird sounds should I go to school tomorrow ?
I'm always constipated, what should I do? :(?
I'm 18, almost 19 soon and I'm constipated alot now. I just eat whatever I want but that doesn't mean I eat unhealthy foods, like all day today I've been eating tomatoes. I weigh 125 lbs. I don't think I'd be able to eat salad for everyday. I use to eat salad every other day in high school but now that I'm in college I don't really buy it, or I'll eat something little for lunch. Can breakfest be the problem to this? I don't eat cereal in the morning because usually I'm not hungry enough to eat it or I don't have time. I usually eat breakfest on the weekends. Recently, I hadn't pooped in three days, and then I had a small bowl of salad and I had to use the restroom 4 times because I had mix of solid poop and diarrhea. Also, I am not a big eater at all, and usually on a regular pooping cycle I can go once every other day...
I ate too much cheese, and now I'm constipated. What should I do?
Why are you freaking out as if you have a problem... when you don't have a problem? Cheese can make your stool denser, however to be eating enough cheese to the point where it makes you constipated you would have to be eating a good chunk of your diet in pure cheese. You still should be getting your daily dose of fiber and your 10 glasses of water per day. Don't freak out that you are constipated until you actually start having problems going to the bathroom. Even then, when that happens go get some stool softeners and laxatives they sell at the pharmacy. (Laxatives alone are not enough. The problem isn't having to do the problem is getting it out). You are worrying about this far too prematurely. Don't believe everything everyone says. -Connor
I think I am constipated, how do i tell my mom??
have you been drinking alot of water sometimes if you do that you will be fine. have you been eating alot of somekind of food that might constipate you such as bananas? Look at what is going on in your diet. Some people need to put a little box under there feet when they sit on the toilet so there posture is correct so learn all you can but telling your mom should not be something for you to be afraid of I would think she would want to know if you have any concerns...You might need some more fiber in your diet such as cereal or vegtables & she might be able to help you take care of this.
How do I know if I'm constipated or pregnant?
The same way women who are not constipated find out if they're pregnant. Is your period late and have you in the past few weeks engaged in the type of heterosexual sex which can lead to pregnancy? If so, I'd suggest buying an over the counter pregnancy test. If it's negative, take some Metamucil or similar to deal with the constipation. If it's positive, I would google the effects of Metamucil on pregnant women prior to taking it. I suspect it's perfectly safe for pregnant women, but it will take you very little time to make sure. And if the stick turned blue, make an appointment with your doctor to confirm the diagnosis and to discuss your options.
