constipation
"I have had to use laxatives at least once a month for decades. A few hints I have learned over the years. If you are not a regular user of laxatives, only take one pill. I take 3. Take it before you go to bed, and you must have the next day free. Why? Because it is never predictable how it will hit you. The first few poops are hard and not easy. Once that is done, the rest of the day will be quite loose and by the end it is straight liquid. I fast on a "poop" day. Why? Whatever you eat will go right through you and it HURTS. No spicy foods. I too have thrown up before- pure bile. It feels like it backs up into your stomach, while working on the other stuff. That is the worst. I have had cramps, shivers, cold sweats.
