Suggest Remedy For Constipation And Abnormal Bowel Movements

I recently had a ruptured ovarian cyst. The hspt gave me Norco to take for the pain. I went 5 days without a bowel movement, I took doses of Phillips that didn t work,so then I took straight magnesium liquid form. still hardly nothing, so I did a enema that got some stuff going. I feel like I m so constipated I ve eated grapes, drank coffee, apple juice, ate popcorn, salads. I ve gone alittle bit today but not like I should of. Also I have pains in my upper rib cage, below my breast & my stomach is huge & my stools aren t exactly brown. I would say their darish brown. My husband wants me to go back to the ER personally I don t. What do you think? Sincerly,Emily

Hi. Like you, I too see your constipation related with the ruptured ovarian cyst, the pain it causes, troubles the bowel work too and it needs some time to turn to normal. Then, as for the diet I don't think coffee is good for constipation, kiwies are the best with prunes too. You can also begin with 25 ml of Lactulose at night. As for the color of your stools, it's dependent on the food you take so you don't have to be concerned about.
