I am 21 and I go to the bathroom about
once a week. Today I tried and I couldn't
go. It is like there is a huge hard ball
of poop at the end and I can't get it out
cause it hurts too much. The only thing I
have changed since my last bowel movement
was protein shakes (4 a day with milk). I
don't eat that healthy/much but I do take
a multi vitamin every morning. Could the
protein shakes be the cause of this? What
could I eat to get this boulder out of me.
Thanks in advance.

After reading around on the internet I am
assuming this is constipation. I will do
more research and see what I need to
take/do.

I can't even go to the bathroom, I try but

Hi there! 1st thing you need to do is
read on the label of what the protein
shake might cause, please remember that I
am not a Dr. But their are a lot of good
stool softeners out there and you do not
have to buy the expensive brands, I buy
the equate brand which is walmart but you
can also check with the herb store too.
If you are having a lot of trouble smooth
moves tea works fast for most!

I don't know about protein shakes, but if
ou are going to the bathroom once a week
you are constipated. You need to look at
your diet.
I hope by now you have cleared your
impaction. Fleet aracis oil is usually
effective (more so than a glycerine
suppository).

Try adding some fiber to your diet.

Yeah look at the dietary fiber on the
foods! The higher they are the better.
You could start taking stool softners.
There was a forum about some colon cleaner
pill on here earlier today i'd look
through them and check that out!
Make yourself a cup of tea and put like a
teaspoon of vegetable oil mixed in with
it. That could help you out a tad bit.
