Hi,
What an awful situation to be in! I'm so sorry for you to have to deal with it. It seems like your laxatives aren't working. I'm 76 and have used the same laxative all these years. It is a glass of water with a tablespoon or more of baking soda. Mix it up well and drink it all. It tastes terrible! You can add some lemon juice to make it taste a little better. It works quickly so stay near the bathroom but it is effective and it's all natural. Drink extra water to keep from becoming dehydrated. My Mom, Grandmother and Great Grandmother all used this and gave it to their families. I hope it works for you.

Good luck!
PML

Hi PML, how soon after you take this concoction do you go?

May need to take a magnesium supplement.

Wow, baking soda & water?!!
That’s interesting.
Anyone else tried this?
