Constipation with Len/Pemb

Posted by roulaocchi @roulaocchi, Mar 3 12:11pm

Has anyone has 3-4 days of constipation and then taken Metamucil or Colace and had bad cholic and still a hard time having a bowel movement? Any advise on what to take/do on a daily basis to avoid constipation other than these 2 items? Thank you

Have you tried a glycerin suppository? I had to use one after my hysterectomy and it worked within 15minutes. It might be worth a try.

It’s hard to believe, but putting castor oil in my bellybutton at bedtime, cover it with a towel & stay on your back for at least 15 minutes, takes care of it every time for me. This was suggested by my DO. Apparently it’s a homeopathic remedy. Make sure you get hexane free castor oil. Hope it works for you.

Try Restoralax. A tablespoon dissolved in water or juice every day. Was recommended by my surgeon.
