Colon Cleanse please help

[Carol Watts 67]

Is there a good colon cleanse out there ? Can we use this post op ? I have MOM, I use colace and I have tried miralx. I have a very stubborn system when it comes to going to the bathroom.

Milk of magnesia didn't work?

How about prune juice?

Mag citrate. Senokot&MOM. Suppository? But increasing Fiber is better than training your system to rely on laxatives. Fiber gummies or chewable. I lace my crystal light with fiber powder.

Wish you all the best!

I used of those as well and nothing....finally I used suppositories and it worked. It took me making sure I was getting in At least 64 oz of flluids to get some relief. My surgeon was very clear after my post op appt. that all of those colon helpers work by drawing the fluids to that part of our bodies. If we are not drinking enough (and I was not) then these helpers will not work. I honestly felt like I was passing rocks and that is no lie. When I was at 2 month out and drinking Decaf coffee in the morning it helped me lots. Needless to say I drink the decaf coffee daily. For me it is normal to go every two days. Hope this helps you some. Forgive me if it was a bit to graphic. Best Wishes Tina

Thanks everyone. I havent tried prune juice. No MOM didnt work. I think I will go get a Fiber supplement also.

Fiber is always best but also there is kondremul. It's emulsified mineral oil not a laxative. Just in case you don't want laxative solutions.

Thanks I bought Metamucil Clear and Natural today. The pharmacist said it would probably be best with the gastric sleeve surgery. I ask about the other one, she said you needed to drink a big glass of Water with the kondremul. I explained I couldnt hold over about 2 or 3 oz. so she told me the Metamucil would probably be better. We will see if not I will get the other one. I am seeing alot about skinny fiber. I don't know nothing about it other than you can take it with gastric sleeve surgery, its expensive and suppose to help with weight loss.

I have that Metamucil clear and natural and I like it. I mix it into the last few swallows of my g2 and it doesn't throw the taste off at all. Works good too.

The MOM didn't work by itself for me but when I took that and prune juice for two days straight it worked. I only did about 4 oz of prune juice and 1 tablespoon twice a day and finally I was able to make something happen.

I know you were looking for a cleanse, but for getting fiber my doctor suggested chia seeds. Like the ones used on chia pets. Lol! They are a good source of fiber, natural, and go well in smoothies with a scoop of Protein too!

milk of mag is pretty standard
