I dont normally deal with this as I am a Crohnnie who has lots of D normally...but for those of you that have C, my question is--do you ever get hemmies and if you do how do you have a bowel movement with hemmies if you have to strain or push? I know TMI, but Im curious, is it excruciating?

Hi.I mostly have trapped gas(pressure) in the colon.It is a form of constipation.

Instead of straining,i often use suppositories.In fact,i just bougth a 100 suppo. box.

Hope this help.

Hi there, I usually turn to salofak and docusate one is a laxitive and one is a softener. I have gone from D to C over the last couple of months, and i get Hemmies all the time it seems. They are very painful and when i start to get Hemmies that's when i'll start to use the pills. it gives them (hemmies) a chance to heal a little.

I use stool softners every night to keep things moving.  I do have hemi's but the only time lately they have bothered me was the last time I had a c-scope.  Dr skills sucked and really irritated them.  The stool softners help me not to have to strain.  Draws water to the stool to soften them and help them pass easier.

Nanners, what do you use? Something like Colace?

Sorry you are going through this. I try not to use suppositories unless very necessary but from time to time I have use Senna tablets or name brand Senakot, it is natural and less invasive. Hope you feel better soon.
