So constipated

Ugh someone help. I am so constipated. I’m bloated to the point I look pregnant. I’ve taken some fybrogel this evening as it’s the only thing I have in if it doesn’t work ill get something stronger in the morning. Please tell me it’s normal. I have been trying to eat lots of veggy laden food and drinking smoothies but I’m so bunged up I’ve not got room for anything else. Ugh x

I’m only 1 day post op but I’ve heard that this is totally normal. Still not nice though!
I have some fruit cube laxatives from Holland and Barrett if it comes to it. Hope you start to feel better soon xx

Hey, I was like this the first week after my op. It’s because of the cocodamol.
I got some senakot and that worked after two days and I stopped taking the cocodamol as soon as I could and started taking ibuprofen instead. Hope this helps xx

Hi Nicole, I was like this and in so much pain because of constipation and trapped wind so I rang my gp and she told me to stop taking co codomol and gave me naproxen and paracetamol, and within one day I was 100 times better, she also gave me a laxative but the naproxen is amazing it’s an anti inflammatory aswell as pain killer and I honestly felt amazing after a day or two and now have almost zero pain. Xx

A few girls on here have had the same and took naproxen and all say the same. I wish they would just give ppl that in the first place to stop all the discomfort everyone has! Mine was worse then the actual boob pain! Xx

Oh hun I’m exactly the same it’s making me feel unwell :(:( I’ve stopped taking cocodamol and sticking to ibuprofen/paracetamol all day which has seemed to work on taking the edge off. Doesn’t do us any favours does it feeling so bloated and yucky. Can’t wait till I can go toilet properly lol 🙁 how sad is that!

Ah im gonna trg get some naproxen tomorrow. Its awful im in so much pain with my belly i just want to go to the loo its dire. Think ill cope with ibroprofen and paracetomol for the mo and stop the cocodomal. Ugh i did not expect belly pain and bloating to be the main concern of mine ha x

Exactly! Can’t understand why they give you that when there are clearly other meds out there that don’t cause the same side effects! Very strange :/
