wait, you're going to a makeup trial and you think you might have to go???
I don't go everyday, that's normal for me, but FH goes like 3x a day ....
Is that TMI???
i don't think TMI exists on this board! have you read our IBS thread??
WAAAAAIT a minute - there's an IBS board?!! why didnt anyone tell me about it!

Be sure to drink tons of liquid too. And if you don't go for longer than a few days...talk to your doctor. Feel better!

thanks ladies im going to go get a cappucino blast from dunkin donuts before i go for my make up trial!!! be back later!
NO, NO, NO! That's just refined sugar and a sugary coffee-flavored mix. Sugar / sweets are sooooo constipating. It's the worst thing you can do to yourself. (Stay AWAY from cookies, cakes, white bread, etc.)
Get yourself a large Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee (put a couple of sugar packets in it, that's only 30-45 calories, it's okay) and you'll be fine in about 20 minutes.

Re: SO EMBARASSING....question
Definitely try some coffee first
but if not take magnesium pills they help you go to the bathroom...i take MAG07 which are oxygenated magnesium pills, you have absolutely no stomach pains and it will help you go and it wont be like a laxative where you have to stay home all day bc you have the runs

My FH thinks it's weird because I can only go like once every 3 days and he goes like 5x a day!
I think girls are just different from guys....

Re: SO EMBARASSING....question
TMI alert:
Once I couldn't go to the bathroom for several days...I was literally in pain, it just couldn't come out (I know you girls are puking in your mouths right now, sorry!)...I tried everything and nothing worked...until I got a Dulcolax (sp?) insert...it's really small and you have to put it up there...and literally in a matter of seconds, I had to run to the bathroom...it definitely works, and quickly too! I'm sure it'll work for you, HTH!

Take a phillips....
im scared...
phillips doesnt hurt, but i would just make sure you are near a potty 12 hours after you take it.
If not McDonalds ALWAYS does the trick for me.....
Lol I was going to say the same for McDonalds.. but seriously I'd say Phillips....also just make sure that you're near the bathroom.

If dulcolax is a bit too 'invasive' for you, try eating a chili burger from checkers...works like a charm but not as effective as the dulcolax ofcourse

Re: SO EMBARASSING....question
I suffer from IBS..... eat broccoli, bran muffin, drink coffee. If htat doesn't work take a fiber pill. DO NOT take a laxative. IF you haven't gone and feel uncomfortable go to your doctor. Sometimes it can just be from stress or poor diet. Its ok not to go for a few days. If you go more than three days that I would def call a doctor
