Guess what, a poop question!

Don't judge, we all have problems.

So anyway, I've decided that my stabbing intestional pains the last two days is because of nonpoopyness. So I've gone and taken some exlax 12 hours ago. It said it would work in 6-12 hours. It hasn't. I got some cramps earlier, but that was just gas :p

So do I take more pills? Should I stay home from work? I don't want to crap myself whilst spreadsheeting. Any suggestions? I hurt :(

    How much over the 12 hours is it?

    About 7 minutes :p After the initial cramps about an hour ago, nothing. I'm impatient.

    lol give it a bit more time.
    Does it say you can take it again after so long? I would give it at least a few more hours.

    It says you can take it once or twice daily, so I guess it means you can or cannot take it again after the 12 hours :p

    Thanks hun, I'll give it a few more :) No need to rush. I don't want to work anywyas.

    I keep getting the most painful cramps and pains! Is this normal? I've never taken a laxative before. Oh god. I havn't even eaten anything yet as the pain from food is worse but this is horrid! And I still cannot poop!

    What the hell causes this! Dear lord.

    pure apple juice is good for constipation. Drink a litre of it, should help things on their natural course.

    Do I have to bring a bag with me :p
    If the law is you get fined for not picking up your dogs poo, will they fine me for not picking up my own poo?

    Are there prescription strength laxatives? The cramps have gone, but its still been since Monday or Tuesday, that I"ve gone. I forgot to write which day specifically in my diary. Give it probably a week more. But would I be stupid to go to the doctor because I can't poop? What can they do for you in that situation anyways?

    Yes you should go to the doctor about it, they should be able to give you something to help. It's not good to go for long without going.

    Are you still on Effexor? This can really fuck up your pooing.

    a litre of orange juice, or two.

    Lots of sugar free sweeties, find the ones that say excessive consumption can cause laxative effects because they really do mean it.
