Ok, I am having a heck of a time with this. I believe I am getting hemorroids now. I know this isn't exactly a great topic of discussion, but I need a little advice. Besides the fact I cannot keep a piece of lettuce down to save my life, anyone have any ideas on how to keep up the fibre content in my diet. I drink my 8 glasses of water a day. I have gotten Lactulose, but was told by a friend you cannot go anywhere while taking it. So what do I do?
Any advice would help.
Thanks ↓

| Try drinking prune juice, eating raisins, eat a high fiber cereal, but you could always talk to your doctor to see if there is something like a stool softener you could take. ↑ |

well, I had a doozy yesterday, how embarrassing...I had to hunch over, suck it up and get my receptionist to go to the pharmacy and get me some hemmoroid cream and lacutlose (mine was still sitting at home waiting for me to take) as I was in the washroom for almost an hour (not too sure why they didn't notice I wasn't in my office that long)
To top it all off, the toilet overflowed (too much toilet paper) and I had to get my male boss to plunge the damn thing. I tried, to no avail...So needless to say, I felt like a complete idiot...I can laugh about it now, but GOD was I embarassed...the lactulose is giving me nothing but gas right now. It is the only thing my doctor said I can take. I swear I am never getting pregnant again! ↑ |

| I wouldn't take any laxatives. They can stimulate uterus and make you have contractions. Eat prunes/plums, take like benefiber or simular fiber supplement. Hemorroids suck. I had them throughout my pregnancy I didn't use any creams or anything though. I kinda just toughed it out. Ask your doc what you should do. Don't take laxatives. You can take stool softeners like "Colace" which makes it easier to pass bowel movements, but not laxatives which can put you into labor. ↑ |
