My pain doctor gave me a prescription for lactulose, and I received a bottle of Avilac from a friend who doesn't need it anymore.<br />In the mean time, I am going to try homeopathy through my sister-in-law in Modi'in.<br />I had *9* shilshuls today from milk of magnesia. (and I feel another is going to happen before I go to sleep...) Awful. My body is extremely sensitive to every laxative, it seems.<br />I hope the homeopathy works. I will give it a month or so. If not, I'll try these other products. We'll find something.

I drank about 2 cups a day but several people had sheba growing and they have all been cut down. It may not be strong enough for you and perhaps every day is too much to hope for.

It isn't peglax (or miralax), is it? That product also makes the stools soft by retaining water in the system, but it is taken differently, dissolved into a liquid and drank. I do use peglzx regularly, but it doesn't get the bowels working, just makes the stool soft. I want to try the lactulose, and wonder what it is called here...Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04944081107347417231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464163302553827777.post-20959143583794902812013-01-03T20:15:14.566+02:002013-01-03T20:15:14.566+02:00wow wow wow but very sad and painful wow - how can...wow wow wow but very sad and painful wow - how can they tell you about senna, it is natural, it is a plant but it is dangerous, it causes severe spasms, cramping even blood in stool.....and they make your bowel lazy and worsen the condition. It also causes dependene. NATURAL and SAFE and PAINFUL is lactulose syrup, you take it about 1 and 1/2 big spoon, it is not tasty, too sweet, but you can drink glass of water after that. It works on system of driving more water into intestines and you have watery stool. I am "Master Yoda" for that, I have rectal cancer so you can believe me. Try that, it is not expensive, every farmacy has it. Only first time you don't know how long it takes to work for you - so first time you had to be at home. For me it is hour and half to 2 hours, than I go, I sit for some time till everything goes and I am at ease till next day when I take lactilose again - it doesn't cause dependence, after you stop taking medication which causes constipation you can stop using it, but also you can use it all yur life. Even babies can take that. Please, please try this, I already wrote it at the beginning of this problem ...doc told me to do so, only ONE, and I have had this problem more than a zear after surgery, now when I say I am more than happy, can work all day - the others also say, oh yes it is good thing - why didn't tolde me so a year ago........jacekicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037903786648448890noreply@blogger.com
