Medication induced Constipation I swore by...Miralax...right after the surgery For maintenance..... now every night I take a table spoon of Milk of Magnesia..If that doesn't work have a 1/2 glass of prune juice as a chaser. If you prefer food dtuff...a small bowl of raisin bran w/ skim milk every morning or right before bed works like a charm the next morning..OR...2-3 dried figs, dried dates, prunes or apricots at bedtime also work like a charm...also satisfy that sweet craving. Good luck..I haven't had a problem since...........

Medication induced Constipation I'm glad someone else started this topic. I've been on various drugs for the last 4 years and it's been so long since I've been "normal". It's like one thing works for awhile then it's time to switch.
Medication induced Constipation So Big Red, where would one find this SMOOTH MOVE? I have to tell ya, one of my kiRAB has a problem with "going big" and when she visits and says, "Mom, can I use your bathroom?" I panic because it usually enRAB with an overflow issue and she's way too erabarrassed to see a doc about it!
Medication induced Constipation Don't know if this will help you or not but bannanna's constipate me. Also beware of carrots they are constipating in nature.
Medication induced Constipation Pepper, Fiber One bars are in the aisle where the granola bars are. The sell them at Target I know. They are packaged 5 to a box. Come in two flavors. Oats and Chocolate which have mini chocolate chips in them with a little drizzle of chocolate on the top. The other flavor is Oats and Peanut butter which has peanut chunks (or peanut butter chips, can't tell) with a drizzle of butterscotch) over the top. It has 150 calories, and 9 grams of fiber, which is 35% of the daily amout of fiber. Emily, (ahem) please remeraber that they are no longer prunes but pitted and dried plums. They felt they were getting a bad rap as prunes so the plum growers have changed their names to dried plums...welll ESCUUUUSSSEEEEE MMMEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Medication induced Constipation The Fiber One cereal is really yummy too, I also eat eat All Bran with Yogurt Bites 40% Daily value of fiber. This stiff is good as I said before my 10 year old daughter eats it up. I am doing a complete turn around on my eating habits. Last night while the rest of the family ate baked chicken,mashed potato(e), and corn. I made myself a baby green salad with baby carrots,english cucuraber, grape tomatoes boiled chicken,1 boiled egg and fat free dressing. and for a little snack one of those Philly Swirls sorbets. Those are yummy I could eat all six but I contained myself as my husband ate a whole container (60) breyers bites piggy, But I feel good no bloat so I will stick to the fruit and green and see what happens. Who knew poo would be a hot topic :blob_fire :wave: Kelly
Medication induced Constipation Dried prunes, prune juice - AM, on empty stomach; does wonders for me. PM a cup of Dieters Tea. You can buy them in every supermarket or Health food stores. Make sure though you don't take the strongest ones (like 3 ballerina Tea, too strong and causes crumps). They have different varietes. works great. Good luck to all sufferers :-)
