Hi Jim:

Your right my list didn't have the Lactulose on it. Before Ginger and you listing it, I hadn't seem it before as something to use. I now wonder ? Do you make it to use or do you fine it at a drug store? Wouldn't mind trying it for Fred at times.

How is Peg's hand doing? Is she still in a cast?

Take Care

Another name for Bisacodyl is Ducolax. Ducolax is a brand name so they are

much more expensive but they are more widely available and are easier to

find when you're out.

One treatment that I don't think is on Vera's list is lactulose. Lactulose

is an invert sugar solution that is not used by the body and therefore helps

the stools become softer. Too much can cause very loose stools so you need

to be somewhat careful.

Lactulose and Enulose (same med) are available only by prescription as far as I know. Ginger
