Constipation

[tissiegirl 36]

Last night I tried Prune juice but immediately it hurt my stomach didn't take anymore. Maybe I should try the mirolax or tea.

I found Smooth Move Tea at Walgreens on the same shelf as the Miralax, ex-lax, etc, good luck!

I take collace and metamucil. One teas collace and two teas metamucil per doctor. My surgery was Dec 16. My nut said bran Cereal also helps. It is definitely getting better.

I suffer from severe Constipation too! I had RNY 12/9/2013. Had my gallbladder out 11/24/2014, since then I can't go. I also get really bloated too! I've been taking Mirolax everyday for the past week it took 3 days before I went I bought some Probiotics to try, my Dr. Suggested I try them to help.

My doc told me to use milk of magnesia. I've only used it once. I take dulcolace twice a day.

My Dr prescribed something called Senokot Plus Tablets I take 1 twice a day I also add 2 tablespoons Benefiber to 22oz of Water with Lemonaid Crystal Lite and sip it all day It has worked great.

I take a Peri-Colace tablet every night before going to sleep with a cup of herbal tea. I am now regular as a clock but I was in so much pain the first month after surgery, I thought I was going to need surgery to be able to go. It was the worst part about my surgery.

Colace comes in a gel capsule.

My experience with any laxatives is a little complicated. SmoothMove tea, which I buy from the herbal tea section at Safeway, the big California grocery store, is my favorite. I buy the Smooth Move Peppermint. You can also get it at Amazon or GNC.

What I find is that no laxative works well if i do it all the time. So I find I have to mix it up somewhat. Constipation is my top complaint about this whole process.

I have been using a combination of prunes, SmoothMove and colace. I don't go every day. But since I still don't eat very much, it seems to work if I go two or three times a week.

Good luck.

Dr. Kellogg gave me a script for Senna, but I haven't used it yet. I am drinking tons of Water for now.

For the prune juice try the "light " version. The Miralax no longer works for me so I drunk the Smooth Move over ice daily.
