I thought I finally had this constipation thing licked, but now it's been a week again. I DON'T want to go the laxative route again, but the oily supplements aren't affecting anything now. That worked for several weeks, but, geeez.. I really hate this.
Hi Lisa~ 2 years ago I had a severe problem with costipation. I would use laxatives, suppositories and powders only to get backed up again. I had a colonoscopy to rule out any problems. Nothing!! I finally bought a colon cleanser and used this for 1 month, skipped a month, then used it another month. It worked for me. I go every day now. If I do have a day that I feel constipated, I take a cleanser and that helps. Good luck cuz I know the discomfort your going through~ Cindy
My dr gave me senecot and it works! It's 2 pills at bedtime,, but u gotta take em every night u should ask ur dr about it! I love them! I have been on them now for a yr.
I have the world's slowest bowel system--2 days no solid food and one day of no food and the icky laxative stuff, and I *still* wasn't cleaned out for a colonoscopy. I eat a *lot* of fiber.
My GP said flaxseed, ground. Got a mini grinder and flaxseed (don't get the red kind--doesn't work as well). Grind to a powder and use 2-3TB or more per day--it is the only thing that keeps me regular.
Try miralax, its a powder that you put in your am coffee or juice, its tasteless, and it is very effective, skip it when you get to loose. I only use it on an as needed basis,
Good luck,
Janet
