A couple of weeks ago, i went 3 days without pooping - i started to get worried so i emailed Michael from Cosmetic Bliss, asking for advice. He told me to try Movicol and make sure im drinking plenty.
So i bought some but nature took care of itself and there wasnt a need to movicol myself.
So yesterday morning, i got the urge to go as normal. I sat on the loo, and waited as per usual. A few minutes later i was thinking hmmm....things are not as they should be. I have never been a strainer, and thought im not going to start now. So i grabbed my phone and went back to try again. 5 minutes later and nothing. I realised at this point that i was going to have to work for this poop. After much straining, i finally squeezed it out.
Honestly, my bum ached the whole day and made me very sad. I really thought i'd have the same problem today, as i dont know how this constipation works. I freely admit, i have never suffered from constipation and totally underestimated it! Last night i drank as much water as i could and had a movicol. This morning i had a weetabix with milk (that was not nice) and some fruit juice.
It came to 'that' time again - i sat on the loo in fear and anticipation of the pain that potentially lay ahead. You'll be glad to hear that there was nothing to fear today! Pooping was a pleasant affair!!
The moral of this tale is to:
Drink plenty of water!
Eat plenty of veggies!
Eat fibre!
