Re: Re: Constipation -- was Tea - Bitter melon gourd

I have a similar issue. Miralax alone doesn't work for me; I also have to take magnesium regularly. And now that I'm in my 5th year on SCD I can eat the occasional prune which also helps [grin].

By the way, during my first two years on SCD I had frequent bouts of severe constipation despite taking a motility med. plus Miralax plus magnesium at the time -- and not eating anything "new." I decided it was all part of the healing phases. Since my 3rd year on SCD I haven't had those episodes of severe constipation unless I've tried something illegal or am dealing with one of my occasional neurological "crashes" which affect digestive motility among other things.

I do miss Zelnorm. I was on a low dose of it, and it helped as nothing else has done. I haven't yet made the decision to purchase Zelnorm from overseas sources, but it is in the back of my mind...

....found my answer, it's illegal. Sigh! Nothing is working for constipation, not even miralax.
