Hi my name is Tyson and I am 22 years old . I have slow bowels and everynight at around midnight i take two gravols so that i dont vomit in the morning or even feel sick. Sometimes i feel nautious anyways so i just smoke a marijuana joint and go back to sleep and its just something that i dont want to keep doing. sometimes i will even take 1 extra gravol or dimenhydrate pill just to make sure because lately with even 2 i still even feel sick. i have been thinking of taking a laxative just to clean my stomach out and see what happens from there but i am maybe thinking of not doing that if somebody could give me some advice it would be so helpful thank you.
Hi! Laxative can give you an instant relief but that's not a long term solution for your problem. You need to know what's causing your constipation and nausea. Have you seen your doctor about this? Maybe you just need to change your eating habits. Dehydration and less fiber in the diet can cause you to be constipated. When constipation is cured, nausea gets cured automatically. Include good amounts of fiber in your diet, at least 20 - 35 grams daily. Fiber rich foods include fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans. Drink at least 8 - 9 glasses of water everyday and try to be more active. That should help :-)
