I am 23 years old and since I got pregnant with my daughter I have had constipation and started gain weight, I did what the doctor said and it hasn’t helped, so recently I bouhg the OTC Miralax does this stuff really work and what else can I do to help with the constipation?
all you need is 20 g of cocaine to cure it, tryi it with apples
that should stop the **** from building up in uXXDD
the last thing you do before you go to bed is eat an grapefruit and nothing else not even water until breakfast
ignore the idiot recommending coke and basically all that can be suggested is to have a diet high in fibre. Eat fruit, vegetables and have bran flakes every morning- you’ll never stop!congratulations !x
i had to constipation at the start of my pregnancy too, you have to eat a diet high in fibre – sultana bran cereal, apricots, fibre biscuits, high fibre milk etc
A high fiber diet is very important, but you have to drink a lot of water in conjunction with it- otherwise the fiber will become like glue in your intestines and bloat you even more.
Another thing is to try eating foods that don’t bloat- in other words, less salt.
Constipation occurs when a person defecates less than three times a week. Constipation can happen to anyone – even when there is no sign of another illness. Often times, people think they are constipated when they actually are not. For many years, people have believed that the norm if to use the bathroom daily. But, there is no normal range that fits every person. Some people naturally defecate 2-3 times each day, while others may only defecate 1 time a day, or even only 2-3 times per week.
Many times you will see new parents charting when their infant defecates – this gives them an idea of what is normal for their infant and can help them detect events or actions that may cause the infant to be constipated. However, once the child reaches early childhood, most parents stop keeping an account of their child’s potty habits. Most people’s body’s work on a certain schedule – and not everyone has the same schedule. So, how do you know if what you are experiencing are constipation symptoms or just your digestive system’s natural schedule?
Constipation symptoms include the following:
Difficulty passing feces
Stools that are hard, dry, and small
Less than 3 bowel movements per week
Less than 1 bowel movement per week in severe cases
Bloating
Painful passing of feces
In severe cases, the following constipation symptoms may be present:
Foul Breath
Headache
Coated Tongue
Dizziness
Loss of Appetite
Nausea
Depression
Ulcers in the mouth
Dark circles under eyes
Pimples on face
Pain in lumbar area
Acidity
Heart burn
Insomnia
Constipation Cures
Before you begin treating constipation, you should consult your physician for a proper diagnosis. Treating constipation when it is just your body’s natural cycle can actually cause you to begin suffering from constipation. If you visit your physician and get a diagnosis of constipation, you should discuss with your physician some constipation cures.
The most common cause of constipation is an unhealthy diet and lack of exercise. Sometimes, changing your eating habits and beginning a regular exercise regimen can effectively eliminate constipation symptoms. Other times, your physician may wish to run tests to find out if there is a medical cause for your constipation – constipation is often the symptom of a more serious illness or disease. Your physician will also review any medications that you may be currently taking to see if your constipation is a side effect. Constipation cures can include the following:
Healthy diet including fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, and fiber
Regular exercise routine
Laxatives in severe cases – but, as with any medications, you should discuss with your physician the side effects of the medication and medications should only be used as a short-term option. The overuse of laxatives can cause your digestive system to become dependent and make it difficult for your digestive system to clean your body of wastes naturally.
Drink plenty of fluids – you must keep your body properly hydrated in order for your digestive system to work naturally
Avoid foods that cause constipation – milk and dairy products, dry beans, cabbage, cauliflower, fried foods, and red meat
Corn Syrup – one tablespoon of corn syrup mixed in eight ounces of liquid is a great remedy for infants
Folic Acid – be sure that your body has the proper amounts of folic acid
Sugar – sugar added to liquids can act as a natural cure for constipation
Aloe Vera Juice – helps to heal and clean the digestive system making the deposit of waste easier
Apple Pectin – gives your body fiber that is essential for normal bowel movements
Triphala – consisting of Harad, Bahera, and Amla (herbs), this ground powder should be ingested with warm water or milk at bedtime
Knowing constipation symptoms and controlling the symptoms are important for a healthy, happy life. The most important and controllable constipation cure is a healthy diet and regular exercise – and avoiding things that you know can bring on the symptoms of constipation.
