Hey Guys,
I need some advice about the big C. I'm a D and so I'm not used to dealing with this, I used to be A but for the last five months of so I've had consistent D.
Anyways, the doc has put me on percocets and I think I'm starting to get constipated. I haven't gone to the bathroom since Thursday, which I assume isn't too bad given that I'm not eating a lot of food, but still I'm starting to get concerned.
My question is, how long is too long? And what can I do to "help things along?" I'm still taking my fiber, but I can't get many insolubles into me because I'm still on a mostly bread and water diet, with the Acacia. I'm going to talk to the doctor about a stool softener or something...but any advice would be great  I'm out of my element here.
Thanks,
Kelly
