I took COLACE yesterday morning and just had a very bad bout of a stomach problem I thought I was going to pass out I was hot clammy nauseous shaky all because I had some diarrhea sorry TMI but anyone else feel that way ? I almost felt dehydrated but I'm drinking. I guess no more COLACE for me!!

Wow, I had no reaction like that. Colace was a lifesaver for me til about 4 wks post op - took it every other day to make sure things kept moving. I still have some on hand "just in case" but I haven't needed it (I'm about 8 1/2 wks post op now).

If you're having constipation (or haven't gone in a couple days) then you should try Milk of Magnesia. It does kinda make you go, though, so make sure you'll be home for a few hours to give it time to kick in...
