It has been 5 days and blockage still not clear. Is it safe to try a laxative?

Or do enemas help?
Maybe soothing warm water from both sides of the tube? Warm water enema on one side and some soothing tea (like lemon balm or chamomile or a mix) to drink? Laxatives can be pretty intense. It's hard to know what your body is asking for from out here. What do the doctors say? Do you have an acupuncturist or any other experienced holistic practitioner to help you with this? Someone who can look at your specific conditions and help determine what your body needs?
Enema worked wonderfully! Thanks for suggestions
Enemas are OK however laxatives can be very dangerous in bowel obstruction cases and can cause bowel rupture at the very worst.

This group has introduced me to the wonders of the warm tap water enema! They can be perfect for certain things and should definitely be part of our repertoire of choices when we're having gut issues. I'm so glad this helped you!
