Need Advice re: Constipation Relief

Have struggled throughout tx with borderline constipation. Prune juice has managed to keep me "going" up until recently when it became necessary to take codeine to suppress violent & prolonged daily coughing attacks which would leave me exhausted and in pain from the convulsing.

Since starting the codeine I am geting enough relief from the cough to make it through the remainder of tx,  however constipation has become a real problem.

Prune juice no longer does the trick and if it were not for the fleet enemas administered every other day I don't think I would ever have a BM

Can anyone recommend  a solution in the way of a safe and effective laxative?

Thanks

Big Al

Don't know what to say. Now everytime a woman walks by me on the street I'll wonder if she letting out liitle puffs of innocuous air.

It's not the vision I had.

Sunspot, daaaahling...you just misheard what your wife said....we do indulge in the occasional flatulation.....we are human after all..... it's just that when we do it (women that is) it doesn't smell.....just little puffs of innocuous air...
