My Dr has me do 1/2 bottle of Milk of Magnesia when i get backed up. I have IBS, so I usually have to do the flush once every 3 mos it seems. I do it on a day that I am not going anywhere. The amount keeps you going almost all day, but it cleanses well. It works fast, and cramping is not bad. Its like an instant relief. I have a great diet, used enema, myralax and supositories this is the only thing that works for me. I also checked with pharmacist to make sure the amount was ok to take (sounded crazy to me) they said yes its very common for a gastro to prescribe that. Health Question & Answer
I really think you should visit your doctor. 9 days is a long time and the fact you are feeling sick and retching isn't good. Bowel blockage can be a serious thing if left too long. go to the doctor and don't worry he/she will sort it out for you. Meanwhile drink lots of water and stop eating. To lessen the discomfort put a hot water bottle on your abdomen. Take care, I hope you feel better very soon.Health Question & Answer
You may need an enema. Depending how blocked up you are think twice before taking anything like exlax. I knew someone who was backed up, took an exlax and all the liquid and pressure built up behind the hard blockage and actually tore his intestines. This is not good having all that waste in your body. Try dulcolax stool softener, they really work, not the laxative, just the stool softener.Health Question & Answer
Yeah, they also have things you can take that'll help loosen your stools, or, at the very least, there are things called suppositories, that you insert into the anus, let it stew for about 30 mins, and then you'll have the urge to go.
Barring that, go see a doctor.Health Question & Answer
