Sorry! I did the search feature and mostly what I found was how to combat it for the long term.  It hasn't happened to me in weeks...but what I need right now is immediate relief.  What works the fastest?  I took MOM and it did not work for me this time like it did last.  So, what can I do?  Suppository?

Yep, glycerin suppository.  I take 2 heaping tablespoons of Benefiber in my coffee in the morning and 4 colace at night to keep this from happening, but occasionally it still does.

That's what I was thinking...a suppository right now, and then some kind of regimine from now on.  Thanks!

Yes,  agree with the glyceryn supository.  On a regular basis, I take 2 colace a day, and one - three servings of benefiber each and every day without fail.  Been on this schedule for years,  as I take some meds that back me up.

Good luck girl!!!  I know how horrible it feels.

Was wondering....4 co ace a day? I tried one and hasn't worked so far. It isn't too much? Says one per dose on the bottle...

Special systems, special measures.  My Dr wrote me the prescription. Four a day, I take them in the evening so I have enough time to get in some substantial water along with them.  Seems to work.

AFTER YOU ARE RELIVED, TAKE MIRALAX EVERY AM. AND BENFIBER AT LEAST ONCE A DAY.  THAT ROUNTNE HAS HELPED ME MORE THAN ANYTHING ESLE.  JOY

 Psyllium seed husk is helping me. I also take a couple of Colace every night.

I had to switch from benefiber to metamucil, even though my pouch is not thrilled. I also take 3 colace a day, and miralax as needed. Can be quite a change when I have to fight to be regular for the first time in my life!!
