I hate talking about poop. Too much of my life has been spent describing my stools, but I must ask.
I am constipated. It's pregnancy related, but probably combined with CF. I have always been regular and had well formed stools, so this is out of the ordinary. I might go a little tiny drop every day, but nothing that really feels cleansing! I have taken citrucil and prune juice, but to no avail. I have increased my water intake as well. We're heading into about three weeks of this.
I am getting worried about a bowel obstruction though. I had one when I was 6 (looong time ago!), and I remember it was extrmemly painful. I am not in pain at all, I just feel very full and I am getting a lot of heartburn. I also feel full two bites after I eat something. My abdomen is very tight, which I am sure is because it is full of sh*t and baby....
so, first question:
What would symptoms be of a bowel obstruction?
second - what else can i do to get the juices moving! I would really like to go!!
