I've also had to deal with severe constipation, I take Miralax every day at my oncologist's directions. I also drink a glass of prune juice and take 2 Colace pills daily. I usually have a couple of prunes during the day as well. This combo has thankfully worked for me.

Senna plus Colace is what I needed then. Now I have to throw in Lactulose, suppositories, enemas, anything to keep it going. An ongoing battle...

Hi - did your mom recently have surgery? Im asking this because it could be the surgery that caused the constipation
Shari
I have also been having constipation problems and the nurse suggested Senekot-S and then after having a bowel movement make sure to put plenty of fiber in the diet and use Miralax daily
Chris
Senekot-S. It's a stool softener and a natural vegetable laxative called Senna. Works pretty well for constipation. Is she eating enough to have a bowel movement?
