I tried prune juice, pure, before I went to the ER, the taste was not so great, I drink it now
with some water. Maybe I can get adjusted to it, by adding my juice at a time. Thank you.

I thought i sent you a message this morning but i must have forgotten to do the next step to send it. I also said: Prune Juice but it is a bit hard to do but if you add water it dilues the strength. So try moist dried prunes. it is yummy... You can cook them in tapioca or rice pudding.. but out of the bag, you will like it. Best of luck trying. Bijou

I get severe constipation during chemo. I start the evening before taking 2 dulcolax overnight and 2 dulcolax stool softener. I truly believe the stool softener does the trick. I forgot the stool softener already and noticed the constipation was still very bad.
The day of chemo I take 3-4 dulcolax and 2 stool softeners, oncologist says this is ok.
I take this dose the day of chemo and up to 4 days afterwards. Or until no more constipation.
