Well, I'm 14, Female and 10 days ago I was constipated for over a month and finally pooped but now I havent pooped in a while.
I've had issues with pooping for a long time, but for the past three years I've been pooping just about once a week and It was working for me. But after I got constipated last week im now scared to go, I get the urge, but it hurts my lower back to push so I stop trying , and I'm not sure what to do.

I feel you girl. That is if you are a girl? Anyways, I have been constipated myself lately too. Are you actually diagnosed with IBS or just think you might have it? Cuz I'm diagnosed with IBS. It's not fun as you probably know. I actually have to put my thumb in my private parts above my colon to help push it out sometimes because it's so hard lately. Before I was on my IBS meds I used to have to do that all the time. Have you ever tried that? It really works sometimes. Us girls are lucky we have a hole really close to our colon so if we have to we can try that. I suggest you try that. It doesn't hurt that part of you or anything.

have you tried anything to move poop along? magnesium citrate works well and so do oranges!! vit c is a natural laxative.

i'd also recommend doing abdominal massage with castor oil and peppermint oil. starting in your lower right abdomen, knead your belly up, across, and down again to your left side.

My daughter suffers with Ibs c, she takes 2 magnesium tablets in the morning and 2 in the evening when she is constipated. She also eats a fiber one breakfast and add fiber buds to it. Increase your water too. And she takes a probiotic -VSL 3 daily. I hope that you get better.

Your daughter isn't on pills for IBS? Can you get magnesium over the counter? If so, should I take that along with my IBS meds?

Jess--

Sorry you are suffering, and sounds like you are suffering alone. You have to tell someone, whether it's your doc or your mom or someone. You need proper treatment. Chronic constipation is nothing to fool around with, generally won't get better on it's own. Please see your doc and tell them the truth about what's been happening. They can help get you the treatment and/or testing you need.

You don't have to live this way!!

Good luck,

Sunny.

Get those veggies going too, so many young people live on carbs....magnesium can really help too...but the right foods are vital. J

So many diseases begin in the gut, learn that now so you can have a healthier life...keep cleaned out.

A 2-1/2 Men segment last night was about the boy and how angry he was and not happy etc....and turns out he was constipated, the housekeeper got him on prune juice and he was happy and singing around the house.....this kid was always eating pizza and donuts and mega carbs......

Another good helper is Vit C to help things moving DAILY. j
