Can't go!

Well here it is.  I need to go, but have can't.  I have tried laxatives(both oral and suppositories), phillips milk meds, fleet enamas.  All with no luck!!!  The best way to describe it is I have a stool that seems to be like clay, not hard.  I go and very little happens.  This has been going on for a while now.  It's happened before and no big deal, but this time there has been no relief.  The pressure is uncomfortable.  I can't get in to see the doctor for a month.  Any suggestions???

Yes constipation (or C as we call it) is part of the inflammation. Bad feeling. I drink a LOT of water, warm like tea or room temperature and use an enema. Rowasa/mesalamine will help your nether regions but a warm water or saline enema would also be useful if you don't have the RX enema on hand (but do go get some).

I've found that for me after C appears it's too late to start intake of fiber, it just adds to the clog (lol).
Stay away from foods known to slow digestion: bananas, red meat.

And last thing I do is walk (keeping bathroom in sight). Going to the gym for the treadmill for example.

Once you get over this one add some fiber to your daily routine. Metamucil, Citrucel, psyillium (spelled right?)
That will help but inflammation is the real culprit.
