[QUOTE="buddy, post: 496043, member: 12886"] OH gentle side hugs so I dont hurt your tummy. That is such a miserable feeling. I am so sorry the rx medications are not working. Which of your medications cause constipation? (are you on pain medications?...OH are you taking the Ritalin still? THAT is notorious for constipation too). The enzyme thing... those are the enzymes that break down chemicals for use in our bodies. Q has two cyp issues. I think, given you are on medications, it is probably more a function of that.... I am hoping so anyway. You are good about eating non starch veggies and fruits? the 5-6 servings of each a day we all need (but I for one do not get). Salads especially with carrots really help me to be healthier that way. I also do better with constant water, not sudden glasses... just sips all day long from a water bottle I keep so I make sure it all goes down (It is 1.5 qt waterbottle I got at Target). I hope you can just use an enema or suppository (glycerine ones can help). Can you add prune JUICE to other things you drink? (if you can't stand he juice alone)...that might not stick in your stomach as much. Last thing you need is heartburn on top of everything. Do NOT take tums or any kind of antacid that causes more constipation! Do heating pads or hot showers or baths offer you any relief? Ok, done throwing out ideas... Probably already tried it all anyway but I just wanted you to know I heard you and feel so badly you are really that uncomfortable. I am postive the stress you are under can not be helping any of this. You are also limited in yoru movement so that of course slows things along. Everything is such a catch 22 for you. I feel so sorry for that. You need a break here! love you bunches! Dee [/QUOTE]
