Zofran users....question for you...(little tmi)
The pharmacist said one of the side effects is constipation. Im already constipated and hurts like hell when i do go, im worried the Zofran will make it worse and more painful. I bleed a little after, is there anything you do to help counter act that?? What works for you?

Re: Zofran users....question for you...(little tmi)
great question - i was going to ask the same thing! the constipation is a killer! I wish I could eat fruit and not want to vomit. Zofran is helping me keep food down but I'm still naseaus all day long.

Re: Zofran users....question for you...(little tmi)
I wound up on a stool softener during my first trimester, it helped. My doctor told me to try metamucil and high fibers, but I was still having a hard time with it so he ok'ed coalce. I still have issues with constipation, but it's a bit better.

Colace and a lot of water in the beginning - now I only take it once a day and drink so much water that I don't need the colace
Good Luck

Colace and baby enima's were the only thing that helped me since I could drink or eat fiber.

I ate a ton of fruit every day, including at least one salad and I would start the day off with a glass of prune juice!

Stay away from whites (white bread, white pasta, etc). Eat lots of whole grains, fiber, and well all else fails colace should do the trick.
ETA - avoid BRAT diet (Bananas Rice Apples Toast)

Re: Zofran users....question for you...(little tmi)
take 2 colace in the morning and 2 at night. and im almost positve you can take senakot (check with your ob) its a vegetable laxitive in the middle of the day (its a pill not a liquid so you wont have diarrhea from it)
