Foods to eat and things to do when pooping is hard

Food to eat. The foods to eat to stay regular are salads, 100 percent whole wheat bread, Cheerios, a couple prunes, and I drink tons of water, plus I have a cup of coffee which stimulates digestion. 

But if you are badly constipated, you'll have to find a way to break down what's in there now.  If you'll eat "Activia" yogurt or drink "Acidophilus" or "Nutrish" milk from the grocery store, it will begin to break down the waste from the stomach end.  And if you'll do some water enemas, use a longer type tube, it will break it down from the back end.  Might take a number of enemas to kind of chip away at it.

Ointments, laxative, lubes. Another thing you can try to get waste out is "Baby Lax" by Fleet, it's a little box of tubes of ointment.  Squirt two in the end, and it will cause your bowels to push hard, and the ointment will help lubricate the area so it will come out easier.  But I wouldn't use that until you've done a few enemas, you'll want to soften it up as much as you can before the big push that the ointment causes.  Also, you can put ordinary KY Jelly on the area after your baths, and it will keep the area well-lubricated for most of the day, which will make it less painful to pass waste when the urges start coming on.

In the old days, people just put ordinary water in a rubber enema bag, which people used to have those in their bathrooms next to where they kept toilet paper and other such things.  You should put some vaseline on the area, so if the poop comes out, it won't hurt as much, it will make it easier to pass.  If a little bit of stuff comes out, try it again and again.  Then get that "Baby Lax," it will most definitely make your bowels move big-time at the end part, and you can repeat until you get cleared out.  You should keep KY jelly on the area after baths for a week or so, until your digestion settles down, to ease the discomfort of passing waste.

What to do after. As for your future digestion, I might mention that medications can cause constipation in otherwise healthy people, because they dry out a person, so be sure to stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water.  Also, watch your salt intake, avoid real salty foods like at restaurants and take-out, because it tends to dry up a person.  The "Nu-Trish" milk I mentioned about is for lactose-intolerant people, and it has the "good bacteria" that is in the other products I mentioned, which breaks down waste.   

The reason melons worked for people is because it has a lot of water in it.  Spagetti also has a lot of water in it, good to keep you regular, because the noodles soak up an entire pot of water when they're cooked.  The reason salad passes well for you is because it also has a high-water content.

Foods to avoid in the meantime. You might want to avoid high-fiber by the tons right now, because it will just expand in there and build up as long as you have this current blockage.  Once it clears out, you can introduce higher fiber stuff slowly.  As an everyday thing, the stuff I suggested, 100 percent wheat toast and cheerios, those will keep you regular if you'll eat that every morning for breakfast, followed by a cup of coffee.   

By the way, when people get "empacted," which is what has happened to you, if they're in the hospital for example, nurses will do that gloved hand deal with vaseline or KY Jelly on it, to literally dig out what's stuck down there, so that's why I suggested it to you.  If you can feel that a bunch of stuff is there, and the enema doesn't start to break it down, you might have to resort to that.  Then the "Baby Lax" should do the rest of the job.
