Very glad for you. Did you end up taking the citrate? I hate that stuff! Now you need to get on a good bowel regime. I have had to take laxatives and softeners right from the beginning. I take 1 senna and colace every morning and two of each every night. If I go more than two days without going I add in a dose of Miralax.< /p>

I did take the citrate. I guess thats what finally did it. I was doing daily miralax but i guess thats not enough (i did miss a day before things stopped moving). I am going to add the senna and colace...that ought to do it. Dont want to do this again. I guess between the Calcium and Iron and Protein, things just cant move on their own.

Yeah, I think some people are lucky and have no bowel issues, but it seems the majority do, at least for some time. I was just scared to death to have to go to the hospital and be disimpacted or anything. My friend that had to go and they gave her the citrate? She later also received an enema, and then went all over the floor. I didn't mention that to you earlier in fear you wouldn't go to the ER in the event you couldn't go on your own. I would have died if I were her but that fear has driven me to stick with all my laxatives!

Thats funny (sort of)

4ducolax a day does it? Two miralax daily is kind of cumbersome.... If ducolax alone will do it maybe ill switch to that

[vicki s 146]

yes, because it is a softener and a stimulant, so it works for me and the pills are tiny...miralax, senna , and colace are just softeners not stiimulants....need my stimulant to get things moving!!!

I take two stool softeners with a hot cup of coffee every night...edited to say that it's Decaf btw
