probably the calicum-I laugh and say bones are not the only things it hardens.

I try to eat a lot of bran-esp cereal at bkf and add prunes when necessary.

Magnesiun is also suppose to help. linda

thanks..........I have been miserable, I have taken some colace to try to

soften it up without blowing it out.....I did have to take some senna-s to

actually go ..... I have never had this problem. I started the lyrica sometime

ago and I did not have this much of an issue but I have increased the dose over

time and added in the calcium.....I will have to look into some mirlax or

something so I can continue my meds......thanks again

Amber, I have the same problem, even though I eat lots and lots of

fiber. I have added prunes to my diet. At Walmart, you can get a pretty

big container for not much money, and they don't have to be

refrigerated. You might also try a stool softener before going to a

laxative.
