2ndTimesTheCharm 68 Posted October 6, 2012 Has anyone used this after surgery?? I haven't had a BM in 4 days and I feel uncomfortable. The tea I drink isn't working and the other meds would take too long, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uniqueladybug 80 Posted October 6, 2012 I would think that would make you sick because of the amount you would have to drink plus I think it's carbonated. I'm having a hard time and have used enemas and suppositories. Jess...Surgiversary 9/19/12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I hate the enema part. I mine as well buy them by the case at this rate...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustJenn 542 Posted October 7, 2012 I had to drink a bottle I think 11oz at 5pm the day before surgery. Yes it works! But it doesnt feel good. I can't imagine using it post op. Try other stuff first or ask your Dr. It was a funky awkward mega diahrea feeling. Surgery 7/25/12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
