I had kidney transplant surgery recently. Prior to surgery, constipation was a huge problem. My nephrologist advised that I can take Metamucil or Docusate Sodium softgel capsules, in addition to high-fiber diet. It worked for me. Most fruits and vegetables are high in fiber, but beware of the potassium content.

I read somewhere that Metamucil was NOT permitted. Has anyone been told it’s okay from their nephrologist? Thanks!
