Unbesleeveable 110 Posted May 16, 2014 I have been battling this same issue since my surgery 02/27/2014. I was finally referred to a gastroenterologist 05/12/2014 I was advised that I need to try a regiment of Miralax (2 cap fulls daily) and also ex lax or an enema every 3 days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted May 16, 2014 My surgeon recommends Milk of Magnesia + stool softeners (dulcolax, Senokot) for quick relief, and for people who need it, an every other day dose of Miralax to keep things regular after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madam Reverie 2,958 Posted May 16, 2014 I take a BIG mouthful of lactalose. I promise you... Give it 1.5 hours and you will be pooping through the eye of a needle. It won"t be 'comfortable', per se - as everything moves REALLY quickly. However, you will feel like a new human being afterwards. Happy pooping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

inittothinit 145 Posted May 16, 2014 A full cap of milk of magnesia (4tbsp) but you have to also drink a glass of Water when you take it. Stay close to home for a couple of hours:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted May 16, 2014 You did an entire dose of magnesium citrate (the fizzy stuff in the glass bottles) and got no results? Honestly I would check with a medical person (your doctor, possibly the ER if you are in pain) rather than an internet message board. If you aren't getting anything with magnesium citrate you could be impacted and that needs professional seeing to from my understanding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
