Try Dulcolax suppository, fleets enema glycerin suppository. Need to move bottom out so top can pass through. I had to use suppository every other day until I got better. Then add Peri-Colace. Take two at bedtime. See if you can find capsules. I don't know if they make capsules but the pills or not hard to swallow but they seem to sit there in my pouch but I usually go to bed to keep from feeling that Little bit of fullness.

Try Actilax or Lactulose syrup. It is a sticky liquid laxative and helped me greatly after spinal fusion surgery. I swear by it. In my work as a nurse, we also do a Coloxyl milk shake which consists of crushing 2xColoxyl with senna tablets, add 30ml Lactulose syrup and 20ml of Agarol syrup. Add 50ml of milk and mix together. Works a treat!!

Try the Lactulose syrup on its own then. It is sweet. I was extremely nauseated when I had a spinal surgery through my abdomen and was nil by mouth for the week prior to surgery. I managed to tolerate it well and I managed to go to the loo within 2 hours without straining. Sorry to be graphic. I hope this helps.
