Constipation

Another thing to remember, is if there isn't much going in......

Pear juice also works quite well.

For more info and other suggestions, please use the search button at the top of the screen.

You will also see a "sticky thread" above this one on the main Post Op screen. It holds quite a large amount of info re constipation.

thanks for that, will try and get some

I purchased Coloxyl with senna it softens as well as clears. I have found all the opti has changed my usual pattern. I spoke to the assistant at the pharmacy and she recommended it as her husband uses it and he has had gastric bypass.

Another of my group from May also suggested and oldie, prune juice it usually works well for most and a couple of sips here and there is usually enough to help it doesn't taste as bad as it looks but quite sweet.

Hope that helps
