Personal subject, but can we use laxatives? Havent had the need for one since surgery, but my tummy has been hurting, sore all over, don't know what is going on with it. I thought it might be my gall bladder, but not sure. Just occurred to me that I havent had a BM in 3 days, so I dont know if it is anything serious or if I'm full of crap!! I hate to run to the doctor if it is only gas. Any advise????

Milk of Magnesia, that is what our surgeon suggested to us. Keep some fiber tablets on hand in case it gets you going and you keep going..

My goal in life is to be as good of a person as my DOGS already think I am!

I hear ya'! I ran into a bad bout of constipation (the worst I've had in my life, actually) and did some dulcolax geltabs & suppositories. This is what Dr. Byrne's PA, Diana, told me I could use - as well as Milk of Magnesia. But remember - CALL THE DOCTOR IRREGARDLESS! That's what they're there for!

Plus the usual - drink, drink, drink!
