Bowel Problems, I Need Advice Please

Ok guys gross topic I know but I really need some advice. I have been having bowl problems since surgery and I don't know what to do. I have a prescription for stool softner but it burns my thorat really bad and tastes horrible. I have tired to mix it with milk which does help with the burn but I almost throw up everytime I drink it and I have to do 25ml shots at one time and twice a day. Does anyone have any advice for me or maybe someone who had this same problem could tell me what they did I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much!

  • There is an herbal tea called smooth move of all things. You can get it at walmart. Drink a cup before bedtime... I drink a cup every other day. In my opinion better then taking a pill

  • Try colace or the generic stool softener. You can take daily. :-).

Hey,

Does the tea cause you any cramping. I have some from before the surgery, however I remember having cramps when I woke up the next morning after drinking the tea.
