Is there anything I can do to relieve constipation, that doesn't involve suppositories or prunes? I can't stand prunes, and I need to poo, not vomit, hahahaBut is there any foods or drinks that help? I drink between 6-15 full glasses of water a day, so liquids aren't a problemI need something that I can bring with me to class to munch on as well, so some things just won't work, like yogurt.
if you want the widest set of options after graduation, go for mechanical engineeringyou can work in many fields with that degreethe most innovative would be electrical and or chemical engineering (choice depends on aptitude) civil is a field with lots of grunt work, but a field that never lacks for employment opportunitiesdo what you most like! many are called, but few get therehalf of all engineering students go on to study something else, but a grounding in any of the engineering fields will always serve you well.
May I ask, what do you like? Break them down and don't generalizeYour job is to determine what makes you happyDude what you want to do is get up in the morning and look forward to going to workYour decision is extremely importantAsk around, talk to people in these fields but most of all, what floats your boat?
You are going to get a lot of different answers on this one, because everybody's body is differentI have had awful constipation and gas pains throughout my pregnancy, and have only learned through trial and error what works for me All the above suggestions are good ones; Colace works for some (didn't for me)All in all, you are supposed to get 25 grams of dietary fiber a dayThis is not an easy task! One serving of Post Raisin Bran will get you about sevenA serving of green beans will get you about five gramsThere is another cereal on the market that I found called Wheetabix that has 11 grams of fiber a serving (not the tastiest cereal but health and edible) As for a supplement to foods, I think that Citracul is the best product on the marketIt contains insoluble fiber, which is less likely to cause gas than soluble fiber (which I think Metamucil contains)It is fine to take during pregnancy and can be found at CVS, Walgreens, etc As for products to bring to class, All Bran has new snack crackers out that do not taste half badThey contain five grams of fiber per servingI found them to be effective Good luck - I hope you get it under control, as I know how miserable it can be!
