Hi Trissy while I was in dialysis I was using 2 senna twice a day w/meals 1 stool softener 3x a day and Miralax powder mixed with water at night. This helped with the binders and the methadone.

You may have to see your Dr. to get something more powerful as you do not want to get a blockage.. I imagine you have tried many things so I do not know how long you have been dealing with this.. Do not mess with this too long ok.
Id say like 7 or 8 moths and I've just tied laxatives made me vomit tho an didn't help.... That's all I've tried  .... And what kind of blockage??
What is senna btw and did it help an the mirlax with the methadone constapation
senna is a Natural laxative Miralax forces water to the bowels. Vomiting from laxatives can be a sign of a Blockage our your body does not agree with them. Speak to your Dr about this. You may also get a good Probiotic on board it can not hurt..
What's a probiotic?! And oh no don't tell me that a blockage? What kind and how do you think? :-( I've go so many health issues is scary
And is that stuff safe to take while I'm on methadone still yet ugh wish it hury too
yes it is safe but because you have other health issues Speak to your D. before taking Anything and speak to him about your constipation and how long you have been dealing with it Also that laxatives are making you sick. It is Important Trissy.. Probiotics are live bacteria like you find in yogurt It helps with digestion and having bowel movements.. It adds good bacteria to your Gut. Some scientist say it is our Gut that determines depression and such also Health. So take good care of it and it will care for you.
