Oh, so sorry for anyone struggling with this! I went through it with my chemo! In my opinion, one of the worst side effects! I cut out dairy and went to oat milk and creamers (when I could tolerate), added fiber into my diet everywhere I could and took as much Senokot as I could - it’s plant-based and my oncologist told me I could safely take it everyday of my life. Do talk to your care team - they should be able to offer suggestions! Hang in there. There is hope on the other side! Sending hugs this morning!

I have Senekot as part of my gi supply, I took one pill while I was constipated. It did not seem to
work. I'm still testing various meds, drinks, food. Thanks for your comment.
