I don’t recall any - but frankly I might have welcomed it after 7 months of horrendous colitis. That said, I am prone to medication-caused constipation -and find that the best natural solution is 3 cups a day of green salad with a small amount of an oil-based dressing like Italian just to toss it. I believe green leaf lettuce, spinach, or arugula are more effective than iceberg. I just throw a protein in - salmon, chicken, egg, tuna, etc - and spread that 3 cups over a couple of meals. You could also add a stool softener if that doesn’t work in a couple of days. I would have been terrified to use a laxative and would check with your doc before doing so.

@pb50 Really ripe bananas will also help. When I have a flare up, I eat the green ones.
