Jersrose43 837 Posted October 1, 2014 Try some prune juice or laxative. A week is a bit long. It will be painful if you let it continue Ask you doctor for appropriate stool softener you should use but definitely go prune juice or laxative now. There should be a little something in there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BearyBlu 0 Posted October 7, 2014 As soon as you go to full liquid diet you can at least have reduced fat cream of chicken and it settles well I know in my stomach when its upset. Get laxatives from doctor and when you do go you may have diaherra which is normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
