LAXATIVES

what laxatives can we use. Is exlax ok? thanks Patty

My doctor recommends Milk of Magnesia. It gives me bad flashbacks of Pre-Op cleansing (shudder and shake). Since I have started on a flaxseed regimen, I haven't had the need for any laxatives. Patti

I am still pre-op but when I asked my doctor he said to use: Colace or the store brand version (available at Walmart) and to increase my water. I also read a post at some point where someone mentioned a tea called Smooth Move Tea which is supposed to work wonders when you drink a cup prior to bedtime. I have not found it yet in my area though. I hope you feel better soon! Sincerely, LMW
