Tips On Relieving Constipation

Sometimes I’ll feel like the floor is really far away when I know it’s close by, and when I dream things will suddenly get too thin or too big and I can’t fix it. And I’ll imagine or actually pick up something tiny like a needle and it will feel thick and too heavy or something really heavy like a tire would feel really light. I get really scared for no reason and my mom used to give me stuff for constipation and tell me to use the toilet.
My earliest recollections of this happening is about three or four. This is eleven years later and it’s still happening! What is it??

In the month of november my just turned 3 year old pooped twice. He’s had constant problems since he was born with constipation. Doctors have no idea. He’s gone 12 days now without a poop. He’s puked twice in the past 4 days. Doctor put him on colace and lactulose (together) 1 tsp twice a day. Today is the 2nd day on the meds, and still no results. If he doesn’t poop by tommorow night we have to go back into the ER. Any idea how long it SHOULD take for these meds to kick in??

my daughter is 16mths old, we have already taken her to her docts, and er several time, she has a specialist appt. June 1st this comin monday. i’m almost 100% sure this constipation started when we changed her milk because every since then she has been having trouble it just worsens over time. My mother n law drinks those Ensure ( Butter Pecan flavor ) It says on the can complete, balanced nutrition, it has omega 3’s. and its lactose & gluten free. Would this constipate her even more? I know shes not lactose intolerate because our family doc. said she would have diareahh. im just really wantin to try different things until monday that could possibly help her. so what do u think?? the reason why im asking though, is because i want to take her off her whole milk ( btw, we have tried all milks, 2%, 1%, slim, silk, still hasnt helped ) but i want her to still get the vitamins, and nutrition, & ensure carries this.

Last month I skipped my birth control pill for like a day and all through the month I took it at different times. Reason for that was I was little stressed out last month and I ended up forget about the pill at times. Ok here is the problem my live in boyfriend and I get it on almost everyday…and just this past week I have been feeling rather ill. I have the lower stomach and the vomiting that comes with pregance but my period isn’t due for another week?? I thought it could have be constipation but it wasn’t that and even a stomach virus and the doctor said it wasn’t. What could it be?? And I took a test this morning and just like I thought it was negative!!! Help please!!! Maybe someone has experienced the same thing!!! Thanks and God bless

No, there is NOTHING wrong with formula. I’m not debating that point.
Ethan was put on formula at about 5 weeks when I thought I didn’t have enough breast milk. We tried almost every formula there was. We tried Similac,Enfamil Gentlease, Enfamil Soy, Similac Sensitive, Similac Sensitive R.S., Enfamil A.R, Nutramagin, and Alimentum(all changes under the care of a pediatrician) over the next 11 months. He just didn’t do well on formula. If he wasn’t projectile vomiting, he was spitting up ounces after each feed. Or he had diarrhea or constipation, gas, or fussiness after each feed.
When I think back about all that he went through I wish so much that I had had the education and support to work through the breastfeeding problems and to keep nursing him. I just didn’t know any better. I didn’t know anyone I could talk to her even how to look it up on the internet. If I would have kept breastfeeding him his reflux would have been better delt with and he wouldn’t have had any of these problems with formula.
Has anyone had a similar experience? I guess that’s why hindsight is 20-20!
