Guest guest Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 < > I LOVE cheese and I've been lucky enough not to have problems with that in general. However, with some of the meds I've taken (Fentanyl and Kadian, especially), I've had terrible bouts with constipation. One night I seriously considered going to the ER because I was in so much pain. My pain doc told me to start taking Senna tablets, which are natural laxatives. They are found in the same aisle with Metamucil and Dulcolax. I buy the CVS brand, which are a lot less expensive than Sennakot (or however you spell the name-brand). I take 2 a day and a 6-month supply was less than $15. He said that, with it being a chronic problem, he really didn't want me taking the chemical type. As long as I take 2 Senna tablets a day, I have no more problems. Of course, it might not be the best solution for everyone, so check with your doc and use your best judgment... <> I'm exactly the same way! I love Tabouli salad and, when I make it, that's what I eat for every meal until it's all gone. Other times, it's tuna fish or spinach salad... Wonder how Swiss chard tastes in salad. Missy, have you tried it that way yet?
