anyone got any good tips to get things ummm, moving?
i haven't been in NINE days. i desperately need to go. i look PREGNANT because well, errr, i have nine days worth of food still sitting in my stomach it is really uncomfortable.
not a nice topic i know, sorry.
trying to avoid the whole laxative thing because of past abuse with them. the reason i'm in this situation now is because of them...
i eat lots of fibre, drink lots of water and do lots of exercise. this is a problem i've had for years now. the doctors can't do anything for me. the medication they always give me make things worse!
is there any stomach massages i can do or any particular things i can eat/drink to help move things along? i've tried prune juice, etc! nothing works! :banghead:
its really frustrating. when my stomach is empty/running how it should, i have the flattest stomach ever. i have no fat on my stomach at all (thats one place i can say i have no fat!!!) but because of my problems, i always look bloody fat and preggers
i actually dread how much worse this problem is going to get as i age...

You sound like you're doing everything right, fibre, lot's of water etc
have you ever had one?
i'd love to have one (as i love the feeling of being completely empty!) but the thought of having things shoved up there scares me!
just wish my digestive system worked normally :grump:
I can only think of using laxatives this one time, you're probably doing more damage by having it all blocked up in there. And maybe see about doing the colonic, I don't think I could ever get one personally as the thought of having something shoved up there scares me too, but it might be a good idea just to flush your system out in a healthy way?
Failing that just drink a shit load of prune juice
Goodluck x
The black sludge of doom, I agree with this, however I pretty much make the mug half coffee granules and half water, like a slurry paste :P
Hope it works!
this.
yes by drinking lots of alcohol!
