I have tried the benefiber chewables they are hard to chew b/c they are big. I am about ready to try the stool softener. Walked around the house outside 2X & went for a walk to loosen things up nope.

Ok...here is what u do -- hate to admit this, but I've had this problem since I was a child. Part of my morning routine is taking one or two stool softeners NOT a laxative! I get the generic kind from target or walmart. U must take them regularly...so u can go regularly:-)

One of my brothers had a problem with this, and was vomiting quite a few times, his wife took him to the ER, turned out that he was so "backed up" that it made him vomit.
PLEASE, don't wait too many days without "going".
When I was younger, my Grandma told me that if I didn't "go" they'd have to take me to the hospital and have it "cut out". A threat I didn't want to experience!!!!

Aunt Sue is right. My Grandma had the same problem and was admitted to the ER.
Put on your big girl panties, Jodi and do what you need to do. (or in this case, take OFF your big girl panties!)

Well today I got some apple strawberry juice, Miralax. I will take some soon. I would hate to have to go to the ER. That'd be no fun.

3 -4 teaspoons of Epsom salt in 8oz of water. Stick close to the bathroom. Guaranteed.

worse case-- get an enema It is effective and gross, but will clean you out--- had to do for procedure at doctor's before and REALLY worked
