Mestinon for Bowels

Donna, Tami, Dennis, and others,

After surgery (and subsequent opiate medications for awhile) I learned

a very simple solution. Drink 1/4 cup of warmed prune juice first thing

in the morning, followed by a bottle of water.

Secondly, remember that many medications have a side effect of

constipation, so a high fiber diet (I don't mean an added powder fiber)

I mean plenty of fruit, vegetables, water, and oatmeal. Along with

these dietary 'helps', cut refined sugar, sweets, etc. And keep

drinking water - bottled water is best.

Third, staying active, getting regular exercise will help greatly, and

don't sit for extended periods of time, take frequent breaks, get up

and move around.
