To poop or not too poop......

Before cancer my mom always had a problem with constipation so add to that a never ending supply of pain medications she takes on a regular basis and presto, constipation to the hundredth power.

The problem with being constipated besides the constant pain is not being able to get rid of all the toxins from the chemo to the narcotics. So we made it one of our top priorities to poop every other day at the very least.

She's been prescribed everything from stool softeners to castor oil and nothing seemed to work.  Forcing herself to drink miralax twice a day was taking away from her eating because it would give her a full sensation.

We had tried almost about everything from stool softners, laxatives, miralax, lactalose,enemas, glycerin suppositories to prunes.  

So what finally worked for us .....

We began doing a bowel regimen every other day of 2 sennecot (stool softners),she drinks 30ml's of lactalose, a fleet enema followed by a glycerin supossitory. It's not for everyone but in her case has kept her regular and from keeping all of those toxic medicines in, and of course was given the ok by her doctor.
