After 4 ER visits they tell me I'm constipated. I guess it showed up in the CT scan. Thing is I don't feel constipated. I do have severe pain in my right lower abdomen, it hurts horribly bad in the morning when i first get up after lying down for a while, mornings are a bear. I haven't gone yet today so I think I do have some constipation but is that the real reason for my severe abdominal pain i've had for a month now?

Are you still on pain medications? Pain meds are notorious for causing constipation. And if you take pain meds on a regular basis, your intestines can get confused.

Milk.. no way.. don't like it :)

Well, It looks like I was constipated from my pain meds. It's better now. I'm wondering if there is a good "everyday" med to take for it since I'm probably going to be on pain meds for a while?

I just read recently on Health Tap, a site where Drs. answer ??, he said the best thing for C is drinking warm prune juice. I tried that a few times and it works, The 1 st time I drank too much and got d so now when I need it I drink about 3 ounces.

There is a product out there called Calm and it has magnesium in it and you just put 1/2 teas in water and it works
