Not feeling so good

[superbloop]

I've become constipated for the first time in 6 months, I've been taking a liquid laxative since then and think it's not working anymore, gonna see the doc on Thursday and GI on Friday to figure this out.

Have you tried Milk of Magnesium? It tends to help me through boughts of constipation.

Hope you feel better soon!

Bless your heart. When this happened with Claire I just stood and shook my head. Anyway, doc ended up having us use Miralax......not sure if that would work for you but just thought I'd share.

Take care of yourself!

Thank you both, I think I'm gonna have to try one of those options, or anything but what I take right now. 1 litre of golytely daily is probably not doing good for my system, I will ask my doctor about miralax and the milk of magnesium as I need something less intense to down everyday. Golytely is yucky anyways and has messed up my taste buds.:ytongue: If I drink too much my stool becomes too liquid, if I cut down too much it becomes constipated. Getting increased discharge and perianal discomfort, I hope something will stabilize me soon.

Ooo try lactulose. It works really well and you can control easily how much you take. Plus it can actually be taken for long periods of time without any adverse effects. Although, I don't know why you would want to take it for long periods of time lol
