Well about six months ago i was very constipated very gassy and blooted and could not get relief so i went to the hospital i was told at that time to purchace a suppositorys and try it at home. that did not work i then went back to the hospital they then gave me a enima to try at home. At that point i was bleeding from the anus because i was pussing so hard to try to get something out. That to did not work. I ate bran and more bran used supositories and i finally got relief in the form of diarea but i was still blooted. i went to my doc and was told to sit on the tolet until it happened... God help me but if i did that i would still be sitting there. i am still blotted and when i do finally go it is very hard to push out and it looks soft not hard which i think is weird. why would it be so hard to go if it is not constipation??? when i do go it is long and thin. Now i have been to the hospital and the doc and they are not helping is there something more i sould be telling them... forcing them to take tests... Please help me....

WATER...drinks lots and lots of water! Not fruit juice and pop and sports drinks, but pure water. Everything can get very hard and difficult to push out when you are not properly hydrated. I normally use my coffee mug all day long, starting with a cup of coffee and then filling my mug with water throughout the day. Try this method, it certainly can't hurt you and might loosen things up enough to allow it to pass...keep us updated Please

<Many foods cause excess gas and bloating for me too and I found that taking Acidophilus 3 times a day helps a lot. I buy the store brand at WalMart, so it isn't too pricey. Another problem that developed over time is that I became lactose intolerant. WalMart also has a digestive aid right next to the Lactaid brand tablets, but are much cheaper. Try those with any foods that cause you discomfort and see if it helps you. I also buy lactose free milk...it cost more, but is worth it for me!

<I only mentioned WalMart because they carry inexpensive brands that still work. I am sure you can find something that will work fine for you, just no need to go with a 'name' brand that is prohibitively priced.
