Constipation after drinking alcohol - Senna is gentler than dulcolax

         I believe the alcohol is the reason for my constipation and stomach pain because it started the same time I started to drink. I turned 21 years of age 18 days ago. I drank at least 10 shots or several beers about 12 of those days. Constipation after drinking alcohol I have been sober for a couple days and plan to stay sober for a long time. When I wake up in the morning I have diarrhea and go poop 3-6 times within the first hour, then I don't go the rest of the day. I go a decent amount, but I think that over the past two weeks a deposit may have been building up. My question is should I take a laxative to help me go? They definitely work and have done good for me in the past, but they cause a lot of discomfort and pain in my stomach region. And I am also in moderate pain from drinking so much alcohol. I fear the laxative could turn things nasty in my intestines and whatnot considering the toll alcohol has taken on my body. Son, you need to start making better decisions with your life. Switch to gin and prune juice.

         You could try a gentle laxative like dulcolax. I have no idea how the constipation after drinking alcohol would affect anything, though. You could also just eat some dried fruits (think prunes and apricots.) They would be the gentlest method, more than likely. You could also go for an enema if you're really desperate, but I wouldn't suggest it since you're having pain and cramping.

I might try eating yogurt or kefir (kefir if you can get it, yogurt otherwise). You may have fucked up your gut microbes with all the constipation after drinking alcohol.

         Sounds like you drank your stomach into some serious acid production. Take a zantac daily and see if that helps with the stomach pain. Also a stool softener like colace should help with the constipation. Increase your fluids and try to eat some blander foods for the next week. [Read More]

Senna is gentler than dulcolax. Here's a good algorithm:

• Start with dried fruit, eg., prunes and dried apricots, or prune juice. Get some more fiber and fluid in your diet. The fiber should regulate both the diarrhea and the constipation.
• If you don't poop well after a day or two, try a Senna tablet, or a Senna Plus tablet (which adds in a stool softener.)
• Wait a day. If that doesn't work, try Milk of Magnesia. This is good mixed with prune juice.
• If THAT doesn't work after a day, try a suppository, like a glycerin or dulcolax
