If you haven't passed a substantial BM in 4-5 days and you can feel that there is something that is sitting in your bowel waiting to come out but won't shift no matter how much you strain. Here are a few tips to help you decide if you have fecal impaction and how to tackle it. I have had fecal impaction 3 times and on each occasion have received little practical advice from my Doctor so have ended up researching and find my own solution.įirst of all if you suspect that you have fecal impaction I would recommend a 2x pronged attack from both directions. I find it hard to keep to a sensible diet that doesn't irritate my bowel plus I take various Meds and Vitamins etc for several conditions that aggrevate constipation. I too have suffered with chronic constipation for years and despite periodic attempts to improve my digestive system they never seem to last long. I know this thread is now over a year old but as I arrived here from a Google search its clear it is still being read so I thought that I might add my 2 pennyworth in case it is of any help to other sufferers that arrive here. I guess i'm not going to find out till September but in the meantime this pain and lack of BM is driving me crazy.Īny help or advice would be greatly appreciated I'm starting to wonder, although i have many of the symptoms of IBS whether it's something else. there is a sensation there when i press it and not in a painful way but it's hard for me to describe. i am overweight and have a bad diet with not alot of fibre) and only seem to get a little relief from the pain and sometime a little bm when i push in to my bladder. I know i've had constipation for many years (and without any treatment. I have had heachaches/migraines since the first day i started on them and don't know what is best to do? should i stop taking them or is there something else i can take with them? I'm going less than i was before i started taken them, i'm still getting the abdominal pain and although my stool has softened (sorry for the tmi) nothing else is happening. Today is my first day of the 4 sachets and there has been no change in the time i've been taking them. my doctor said i should try 2 a day for 3 days and then put 4 sachets in 1/2 pint of water and drink over 4 hours for 3 days before going back to 2 a day. From the first sachet i took i felt instantly bloated and have started going to the loo less than normal (which wasn't very often to begin with) after 4 days of the same issues, i rang my doctors to leave a message as to whether i should up my dose or try something else. In the meantime, my doctor prescribed me some Laxido to take at 1 a day to see if that helps my symptoms. I have an appointment to see a bowel specialist beginning of September to finally find out what i have. Since then i have had an ultrasound scan but no closer to a definitive answer. I was told by my doctor a few months ago that all the stomach problems i've been having are likely caused by IBS.
