[COLOR="Navy"]Hi,
Are you not going at all? Or are your stools just really hard? If you are not going at all, try using a Fleet enema. If that doesn't work, you may need to head to a doctor.
If you have hard stools, try eating Fber One Cereal, which is actually better than oatmeal for adding fiber. And try Miralax. It is a powder that you stir into liquid. You can get it at Target. You mix it in water, juice, water, and you can't even taste it. You need to consume 30 grams of fiber a day to maintain regularity. A bowl of fiber one has 13 grams, so you are almost half way there. Broccoli is high in fiber as are leafy greens. Fiber tabs can also be taken. You also need to be drinking at least 6-8 8 oz. glasses of water a day. You are bleeding because the tissue in your colon is very thin and hard stools will cause it to tear.
Takae colace and also a senecot. One is a stool softener and the other is a laxative. Both of them will help you go in a couple of days....
But, if you have not had a decent bowel movement in the past week, you need to tell your Mom and get into a doctor. This could get serious and could end up being very painful........
