I took a laxative two days ago and still havent had a bowel movement?

What should I do? it was a liquid on that was lime ang ginger flavered
Answer:
Take another dose. And drink heaps of water.

Hot water, just plain, get's peristelsis going. Without peristelsis you will become more constipated.

Walking helps also.

Don't leave constipation too long as it will cause pain and nausea and impaction.

Try another laxative in a stronger dosage.
If you go to the chemist they can recommend a good one for you.

if you havent had a bowel movement in two days you should call a doctor and get checked out you may be lacking something in your diet..

---

Aren't you in pain? Try a plunger. Or you could do the sensible thing and tell your doctor... unless you like being stopped up...?

---

Take a whole little box of ex lax that should make you go.

---

Drink plenty of water. Try another dosage.

---

The best thing I could say is drink lots of water and juices, plus don't think about it. If your stomach starts to hurt then see a doctor, eat some Taco Bell.

You should try drinking a lot of water and taking a suppository or giving yourself an enema. You can get really sick from the toxins if you don't get it out.

You might consider an enema. There is a sure fire way to clean out and that is a bottle of Magnesium citrate.. It can work in as little as 2 hours... sometimes less so don't plan any away from the house tasks after you drink it... It is not to be used more than once... It is used to clean out the colon... for different things a doctor might want to do in there. If you drink a bottle of that and you don't have a bowl movement in several hours you had better get to a doctor because you may have a blockage that can become very serious... You might consider a doctor anyway...

try drinking some coffee, it makes me sh!t like crazy!

take another laxative, don't be afraid too. my friend has constipation often and takes many laxatives. and if you take a little too much, the worst that can happen is diarhea, which is better than going to the doctors for an enema. as long as you don't take them when you're not constipated, you'll be fine. but be warned! people with eating disorders take them often and poop out all their intestines :-[ obviously, don't take the whole box. just a few more

so basically take a few laxtives, do some yoga, take a nice hot bath, just relax
