Hi everyone. I'm new here. Didn't go yesterday and today felt the urge and it stayed at rectumand a little came out. I take metamucil 1 aday and eat fruit, beans for fiber. I'm scared now and hope it comes out okay. I think i will take another dose of metamucil. This is crazy, i drink a lot of tea, some water, maybe i better cut down onthe tea and more water. I'm just terrified today, if i don't go today, it will be worse tomorrow , i just know it. I also have inflammatory bowel disease which makes it a bit harder. I just hope i go with any damage.

Hi I ve been thru this b4, they just stucked down there n I just can't complete my bm. Rem to relax. The more u tense up, the more it will be like this. Breathe in and out Throughout the bm n focus on ur breathing than ur anus. In this way, u can relax ur anus n stools will be able to come out much easily. Also when u breathe in n out, the muscles n gentle movements will b able to push out ur stools on it's own without u having to put in more efforts to push it consciously.
Hope this helps, cos it is what has helped me greatly

Drink warm water n walk ard when u feel u don't hav the urge. Rem the more u think abt it, the more urge u won't have. This was reminded by my CRS and when I stopped thinking n worrying abt it, I did indeed have more natural urges.

thanks for advice, i'll try it for sure. 10 min ago i tried squating on floor with newspapers and alittle came out. i better quite trying and try what you said.

feeling totalling miserable right now, sitting on sitz and can'tr seem to clean as the stool is at end of rectum. everytime i get up to wipe there's alittle smear. i hate this feeling. its just sitting thereand doesn't want to come out. i feel like screaming

well i finally went some but i know not enought. at least i don't feel it at tip of rectum. i kept feeling last couple of hrs to go but just gas. i'm thinking to change the metamucil to benefiber, stools are bulky but don't hurt.

I wud watch how much fibre you are taking for one thing! Fiber=bigger poop ouch!! Also, straining all the time will cause internal or external piles on top of your fissure etc...I know it s easier said than done, but try and relax about it all. Worrying makes the whole experience worse. I recommend Miralax/Movicol as this will soften up those bm's soo much and hence, an easier transit out! Also the fibre increase gives u gas too!! No thanks!!

yes my stools are bulky, but i don't really know what's safe to take as i have either chrons or colitis and scared the laxative will cause diarrhea, i'm really scared to try something else, i already can tolerate metamucil but i hate the bulky stools. This is really depressing for me. I can't just eat or take anything. I suppose i could try and see what happens, but i'm such a chicken. Is there any natural stool softeners.

Only natural laxative I can think of is coconut milk. But, with your condition your best asking the professionals. Stick with what you know already. As, swapping about just upsets our system doesn't it! Sorry 4 U

Prune juice is natural, and magnesium supplements are gd. I take these 2 daily and it does help. I know v well that incomplete bm and stuck there feeling and indeed I hav internal prolapsed piles frm all these straining during my fissure!
Relax relax breathe! And walk! Don't take too much fiber! Aim for just right! I know it's tough cos I do struggle sometimes with the fiber amt too!
