Ongoing constipation

Hello

Thank you for responding...

I started the Restoralax 2 weeks ago .

 I used to be a 3-5 x daily thanks to irritable bowel.

This once every 3 days is just not cutting it for me.

Yes... Yesterday was horrific... Thought about going to the Emergency but after 3 horrid hours, I was finally able to go.

Yes ... I do enjoy the Costco Organic avacado.

They come in these little individual containers.

I will pursue the probiotic yogurt.  I started mineral Oil today.

I just can't imagine continuing to endure this.

I am at the soft stage... Lots of minestrone & lentil soup...

I guess I will persevere...

Thanks again

Mahalo.  

Perhaps you could ask the doctor to write you a script for lactulous.  It will work, is liquid, and is tolerated early stage post surgery. Best luck to you. It gets better!  This will pass.

Good morning  

Lactulose very high in sugar apparently.

Not recommended by my WL centre.

Going to continue with what I have been doing and the added Mineral Oil and hope for the best with consistency.

Thanks again...

You can take more than one dose of restoralx/miralax if needed. I also use liquid glycerin suppositories when needed... They work quickly. They are kind of like a mini enema...

So sorry you are having triuble.  My surgeon recommended senakot, two pills several times a day until producive.  I did not have trouble after that because I was taking metformin, which causes loose bowels. That was discontinued when my blood sugars dropped.  Now I am using a capful of miralax in my coffee, but it took a few days so I supplemented with senakot two pills at bedtime until I was having a daily Bm.

Everyone says it... keep at it.  It seems to snowball, getting worse and worse.  When you finally get clear you have to keep on top of it.  My surgeon had me taking senakot every few hours when it was really bad.

Good luck.  Hoping for you that this will pass... literally!

I have battled constipation since I had rny a year ago.  The only thing that works for me is taking a stool softener twice a day and miralax in my coffee in the morning.  

I'm taking Miralax every morning in my hot tea. Not producing enough. Today at 5:00pm I took my first dose of MOM cherry flavored. I drink a ton of liquids. Coffee, water, tea. The dense protein is holding me up. I just feel bloated today. Will the MOM work? I don't want a stimulant to cause me to have cramps and pain.
