For Constipation "Well, I tried an enema after 7 days of no bowel movement, and I’m sad to say it did not work very well. It got things started and a little bit came out, but I was straining way too hard and started to get dizzy. So, I’m sorry for saying this (TMI), but I had to put gloves on and remove it manually. It was a massive rock, one after another, I finally got it all out, but what a horrible experience! I never ever want to go through that again. I’m very sore now and had some bleeding. I have used an enema in the past and it worked great, no problems, just a bit of pain, but it went so fast. This time, not so good. But I am happy it’s all over with now, and I feel much better. Sorry for the disgusting details, but I wanted to let people know if you’re really, really badly blocked, it might not work on its own and you might need some help along the way! Good luck to anyone trying for the first time. It is a lifesaver, not going to lie!"

For Constipation "Posting this in case anyone goes through my situation. Just had my third C-section. Surgery was on a Monday, got discharged on Thursday. Once I got home Thursday, I started taking Miralax. On Saturday, I felt like I needed to have a bowel motion (BM). I tried, a little came out, and then all of a sudden it felt like something was stuck in my butt hole. Sunday morning, I took liquid Dulcolax, supposed to help in 30 minutes to 6 hours. It didn’t. I was uncomfortable any time I’d try to poop, I would just strain and a little would come out followed by blood, so I started to get worried. I got Fleet. I had the solution in me for probably a minute, and then I got on the toilet, and then within a couple of seconds, everything was out. For me, it did hurt, but it also went by so fast I didn’t care. It felt like I had two hard stools come out. Literally want to cry tears of joy right now. My only regret is not doing it sooner."

For Constipation "I have been having constipation for the last month or so, pooping once to twice a week. The stool would be very hard and caused much rectal pain and bleeding after. Recently, I had a stool that was just too big and too hard to push out because it was way too hard and very, very painful. It had already been almost 5 days since my last BM, so I tried suppositories. After, I spent an hour or so crying, trying to poop after trying suppositories. They didn't work, so I turned to this enema. Although it did hurt a bit, the stool came out very easily after I pushed really hard. Didn't cause diarrhea, cramping, or anything after. Worked fast and easily. I'd recommend this for sure."

For Bowel Preparation "Terrible product. Not the first time I have used it for bowel prep for sigmoidoscopy, and both times it has caused severe cramps, chills, headache, and rectal bleeding. I am guessing if used for constipation, perhaps not absorbing as much of the medication to get the severe cramps."
