carlaw 82 Posted September 17, 2016 Try Dulcolax suppository, fleets enema glycerin suppository. Need to move bottom out so top can pass through. I had to use suppository every other day until I got better. Then add Peri-Colace. Take two at bedtime. See if you can find capsules. I don't know if they make capsules but the pills or not hard to swallow but they seem to sit there in my pouch but I usually go to bed to keep from feeling that Little bit of fullness.

shoodle72 61 Posted September 17, 2016 Try Actilax or Lactulose Syrup. It is a sticky liquid laxative and helped me greatly after spinal fusion surgery. I swear by it. In my work as a nurse, we also do a Coloxyl milk shake which consists of crushing 2xColoxyl with senna tablets, add 30ml Lactulose syrup and 20ml of Agarol syrup. Add 50ml of milk and mix together. Works a treat!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carlaw 82 Posted September 17, 2016 Sounds delicious Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoodle72 61 Posted September 17, 2016 No it's not really. Agarol comes in vanilla, chocolate and strawberry flavours and it doesn't really take away the flavour. The Actilax tastes like toffee. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carlaw 82 Posted September 17, 2016 I can't even think about taking MiraLAX and it has no flavor. It nauseate me. Just thinking of it. That is why I would try the other end. Then oral meds after this Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shoodle72 61 Posted September 17, 2016 Try the Lactulose Syrup on its own then. It is sweet. I was extremely nauseated when I had a spinal surgery through my abdomen and was nil by mouth for the week prior to surgery. I managed to tolerate it well and I managed to go to the loo within 2 hours without straining. Sorry to be graphic. I hope this helps.

shoodle72 61 Posted September 17, 2016 Is it due to the dehydration and diet changes? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
