Gel caps

Hi!

Has anyone taken Ducolax gel caps!

I am 3 month post op and very constipated. The nurse practitioner told me to take 2 gel caps everyday but not at same time.

Am terrified that it will get stuck!

    I had gastric bypass. The PA in my surgeon's office said gel caps melt really fast once they hit your stomach, so I could start taking them within a few days of surgery (and I did...). Never had any problems with them.

    Muralax is another alternative and dissolves in any of your drinks and you don't taste a thing ;)
