I also use a capful of Miralax in a smoothie with high-protein Ensure (2.5
g of fat, 25 g protein). I have also use milk of magnesia mixed with prune
juice but not very tasty. Compazine works very well for nausea and you can
get into suppository, it is a prescription.

I include Benefiber because I can mix it into anything and can't taste it.
I also have orange flavored Metamucil that I mix into my fruit smoothies.
Even including those in my diet, I still have trouble with the constipation
when using pain meds. I have tried prunes and prune juice as well, but
with no luck. So that is why I use the exlax.
I have been reading what others do in case my situation grows worse as I
age. I want a list of ideas. Best to be prepared.

i'd be afraid to try exlax! i use metimucil and fresh fruit. especially
with peaches being in season!!

The hospital had started me on Colace, but that takes too long for me.
Instead, I use chocolate Exlax and it helps tremendously. If I had the choice,
I would rather have loose stools because I get pain in my legs if I have
to hold my urine too long. Pain kicks in my legs if I get constipated too,
so I do anything to prevent it.
