Its almost 9pm and I didn't hit my goal of 1400 calories. I guess that's not a bad thing I suppose. Well, I'm going to watch some Anime before heading off to snoozeville.

A better question is what are you eating in your day that causes you to be so constipated. Because there can be fiberous foods that aren't particularly good at moving things along. Do you feel bloated? Gassy? In pain?
Whenever I used to have trouble going (and even with my kids), I drink Prune juice. Old school. But it works. And if you drink 2 servings a day until you get regular, you will be more happy for it.
Congrats on getting on the C25K. Good luck and much success.
Hi Rosa!!Thanks for becoming a follower:)I will definitely try prune juice. A friend suggested an enema but I don't think I'm that brave!

I was just looking at the C25K website today. Good luck w/ it!
My dietitian informed me that apricots and flax seed (whole, not grinded) are also natural "bm aides". Hope that helps...Apricots can certainly get things moving along.
I have added you to my follow list as I feel we have a lot in common! Have you had these bathroom issues before? I have always had similar trouble having regular movements. I had a bunch of tests done only to discover I simply have a longer bowel and intestinal tract than a normal person. Even on my mostly raw fruit and vegetable diet with 8 glasses of water a day, I still find it very challenging to go every 3 days if I am lucky. My doctor suggested a natural softener I take daily and it does help. I also have almost completely stopped eating any red meats as I have been told that "clogs the pipes". LOL.
Good luck!
hey there! sorry for your troubles. An enema really isn't that bad--it would be quick relief.
My daughter has chronic constipation and Miralax (over the counter powder) is the only thing that works for her.
Good luck!
Thanks for all of the suggestion ladies!!
@Gwenny I think that after having children, the problems I've had have become increasingly worse:(
@Red Writing I am thinking about doing a enema and then drinking prune juice daily to see if that gets me regular.
If none of that stuff works, then I guess its time to see my doctor.

Dee - Same thing with me. I had a C-Section and always joke that they just shoved everything back inside haphazardly and hence the trouble my food has getting through the pipes...lol.
I'd go with prune juice/prunes and lots of raw things- salad, 100%veg/fruit huice before doing any kind of colon cleanse... I've read/heard from doctors that they're not very safe or good for you unless supervised by a really experienced doctor
Good luck either way!
