For Constipation "OMG! This was the only thing that gave me any type of relief for almost 3 weeks!!! Went to the doctor at the two-week mark, was prescribed Pegalax, didn’t work, tried a bunch of home remedies, nothing worked! Was prescribed a suppository and was too scared, so my mom went and got me a Fleet Enema!!!!! Only hurt a tiny bit when it was being inserted, but from then on I was fine!!!! It really got everything out!!!! WHAT A RELIEF!!!!! I was so nauseous and bloated I couldn’t even eat! Now I feel like a new person and have such a weight lifted off my shoulders! I have emetophobia! (fear of vomiting) and was scared it would make me nauseous, but it didn’t! Not even one bit! I mean having diarrhea is no fun, but it’s so much better than feeling bloated and just horrible!! Was so worth it!!!!!"

For Constipation "So, I have battled chronic constipation since childhood. There are times when I wouldn’t go for about 1.5-2 weeks. I’d be miserable. This time, I had a bad bowel obstruction from not going for 1.5 weeks. I was bloated, nauseated, not eating/drinking, shaky, irritable, and I just wasn’t happy. I had a hard time sleeping. My anxiety was so bad. My doctor prescribed MiraLax and Senna-Lax (8.6 mg), and nothing was working. My husband went to the store this morning (10:30) and brought back an enema for me. I took it at 12:00 on the dot. I was slightly uncomfortable, but it was better than the side effects from constipation! It took about 8 minutes for it to work, due to the severity of my obstruction. It is now 1:00 pm, and I feel so much better! A little pressure in the anal area, but so much better!!!"

For Constipation "I used enemas before when I was younger, and they worked well. Now I have been constipated for about a week, and when I do feel like going, I push so hard my stomach and esophagus hurt. I only get 2 or 3 pebbles out. It's become so regular to be impacted that I have learned to remove it manually with gloves and Vaseline (which is the same thing they will do in the ER). I removed some, but though my colon is empty, I feel the need to go. I gave in today because of how hard my stomach is, and I'm uncomfortable. I had the urge to go after 2 minutes but held on. After 4 minutes, I sat down on the toilet. It made me push like I was giving birth, but only a little bit of the liquid came out. No stool! I became sweaty, nauseous, and had the feeling of wanting to pass out. My daughter brought me a little fan she has, and it helped to cool me down. 1 hour later, and nothing! Just wanted to tell you all it doesn't work on everyone, and some people might have serious side effects. Good luck to all, and hope we all feel better one way or another."

For Constipation "I was constipated for 2 days and had been unable to go. It was so bad to the point I started feeling lightheaded and nauseous on the toilet. Then I Googled an OTC constipation medication and this popped up. I was able to go less than five minutes after using the product. I was SOOO happy I called and told everyone about this poop product, lol :)"

For Constipation "I suffer from having IBS, and I get constipated a lot and suffer from it. Like others, I have either hard stool that won't come out or only little hard pebbles. I sometimes have to use my finger to break up the stool so I can get it out. Two days ago, I used a suppository to try to have a BM, it had been 5 days without one, and I started feeling sick with stomach cramps and nausea. The suppository I used didn't work. I was in so much pain the next day I used a Fleet Enema. The only thing I passed was the water. I took my Colace stool softener, that wasn't helping me anyway, but I was desperate. I knew that I would need to go to the ER the next day if I didn't have a BM. Well, 17 hours after I took the enema, I had a bad stomach ache, and I didn't stop pooping for 2 hours. OMG, I felt so much better. It cleaned me out, but why it took so long to work on me, I don't know. I was so sick the night I took the suppository, and nothing came out. I THANK GOD AND THE ENEMA I TOOK. I feel so much better."

For Bowel Preparation "Used Fleet for bowel prep before a sigmoidoscopy. It was extremely painful, made me sick to my stomach for hours, the chills and shakes, increased heart rate, cramping even after I emptied my bowels."
