Default Abdominal Pains

Hi All. Ok So Not Yesterday But 2 Days Before And For 2 Days I Had 2 Times Where I Got A Terrible Hot Flash And Lasted For 5 Minutes. Feeling Bloated And Uncomfortable. I Have Been Expecting Af So I Thought Ok Here We Go. But Thenlast Night I Had Terrible Abdominal Pains. They Were A 3 On The Pain Scale . I Took Some Pepto Bismal ( By The Way Can We Take This Post Op , Dh Thought Maybe I Shouldnt . But I Did Anyway Hopeing For Comfort . Today I Wake Up And Im Still Bloated And Feel Icky. Could I Be Constipated ? Or Could There Be Soing Wrong With My Intestines ? I Know My Bowels Are Less Frequently The Last Month Or So . Should I Maybe Go To Liquids For A Day Or 2 , Can This Help Get Things Moving ? Or Should I Take A Laxative ? I Bought Some Phillips Brand Laxatives , They Dont Seem To Help Much.

Buy some Milk of Magnesia. MoM is our friend! If MoM doesn't help, then I'd call the doctor.

Default Dulcolax

I used Dulcolax when this happened to me and it worked. Then I started taking Benefiber supplements to prevent it from happening again.

Dulcolax is heaven - sorts everything out. Give it a go. Hope you feel better soon!

If you aren't constipated, do you think the bloating is gas? I use chewable Gas-X to relieve bloating and it helps.
