Quitting Smoking And Constipation
Posted: 06-22-06 15:04pm

This is embarrassing. I've been smoking for 9 years now. I've tried quitting on several occasions. Everytime I try to quit I get really bad constipation. I actually use cigarettes sometimes to help me use the bathroom. I was just wondering if anyone else had problems with constipation when they have tried to quit smoking? I really want to quit, and have set a date for next week. I am just worried about the constipation again. It's very annoying. I have heard that it will pass in a few days but it might take a few weeks. Any insight would be helpful.

Hello,
I also am trying to quit and just recently have I cut down a lot (from about a pack a day to about four a day) and i've been facing constipation as well. I'm guessing its normal. The best thing i've found to do is use a stool softener (laxitives don't work for me).
