I had a similar problem three weeks ago and be admitted to hospital as my blood check results showed that my potassium levels be low below 2.0 so they put me on continous potassium iv drip and 24hrs later I manage to pass out the sturdy stool that was hunch further back within my bottom which is what I am feeling presently again. after 36hrs of potassium iv my level reach 5.3 and I cleared my bowels and went home. I go to hospital again on monday and blood test showed potassium stratum at 3.4 although they said I should try fybogel because I have be taking higher doses of senna, micro enemas and movicol but I enjoy only passed some soft and juice stools although I can still feel a strong bit further up my colon but the dr. sent me home.

Answers:    Have you be to a Doctor at all in connection with your problem?
I also have Muscular Dystrophy (FSH Type) And my Neurologist put me on a stool softener that I will have need of to use the rest of my life. Due to the muscle loss around the intestinal nouns ,it is much more difficult for us to be able to move a sturdy stool ....even painful ,and yes it can be harmful if it is not taken care of. Please see your family circle Doctor ,or if you see a specialist for your MD - I would discuss it with him / her. Hope this help you some. Take care.

I hope you are taking stool softeners and drink lots of river and juices.

Prunes and fruits are moral for you as you may already know.

Some meds do constipate you so you need to pinch enough stool softeners to counteract that effect. Pain meds will constipate you.

You do not want to capture impacted. I would contact my Dr. again and have him transport you to a good dietitian that will transmit you foods to avoid.

Our son also has like mad of pain near his DMD and takes greatly of meds so this might bee too much for you but I would start at 1 dose a day. Good luck and sway in in attendance.
