Constipation and how to deal with it
Hi Everyone, I've had my nausea meds upped for my third treatment of AC Chemo. I'm already having difficulty with bowel motions due to hemorroids from diarrhoea (food related issues). I've got some...
I took a homemade pot and coconut oil mix to help with both nausea and constipation. It kept my bowels moving but did nothing for the pain due to the damage the taxotere did to my small intestine. Good quality coconut oil, a teaspoon twice a day, will do you no harm.
In the end I learned that having a shit was a protracted process that couldn't be rushed. Freaking because I hadn't pooed in two days didn't do me any good; bowel movements were painful and literally made me feel sick, but I was still functioning. Slowly.
It's horrible, but it will pass (pardon the pun)
