how to keep fecal impaction from getting worse ? Posted: 11-09-07 19:08pm
I have what I believe is a fecal
impaction. I won't have any health
coverage until december. Until then, how
do I keep it from getting worse? And have
pain relief?
thanks.

Until you're able to have the dry stool
removed, it's suggested that you take
action to reduce constipation and further
fecal impaction. Adding fibre to your
diet and regular exercise can help promote
regular bowel movements. But beware: if
the fecal impaction is not removed, the
colon may become too large or the bowel
can become completely blocked which can
require a trip to the emergency in extreme
cases for an ER surgery.

A simple and harmless remedy.. Posted: 03-12-08 13:34pm
Sorry to hear about your situation. The
good news, j6860, is that this is
relatively simple and quick to fix. But
you also have to be willing to change your
diet around a bit and also start really
increasing water consumption, as
dehydration is actually a very big cause
of constipation and fecal impaction.
To drastically increase fiber might not be
the best idea since your intestines are
already comprimised or lethargic and are
stagnant.
try increasing consumption quite a bit, of
fruits/greens/veggies... try to stay away
from a lot of meats, grains, dairy. This
will help immensely. This also might be of
help to you, a simple supplement that
seems pretty effective. This also might be
of help to you, a simple supplement that
seems pretty effective I've used it before
with great success, called OxyPowder. Also
try Colon Cleansing.
