Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Hmmm....maybe I'll stop that Benefiber too. I'll try the stool softeners. Where do I get the ground flax seed again? What's a good laxative post-op? I used Milk of Magnesia (liquid form) but it's so nasty. I almost throw up trying to take it. I tried the caplets (milk of magnesia) and they didn't do a darn thing.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Unfortunately if you are that plugged up, an enima is best at this point. (also get some vaseline to put around your rectum so you don't get hemroids.) Or you can try the Ducolax laxative but it didn't do a thing for me until I was more hydrated from the colonic. Flax seed meal you get at Whole Foods in the bulk food section, there is a little fridge and it is by Tom's Mills? Just ask someone to find it for you. BUT don't start taking it until you are cleaned out. Same with the stool softeners. They won't work if you are already stuffed up. Good luck! I feel for ya! Been there, done that, 3 times!!!(too many!) Kay > > > Okay, here's a question for all you posties...whenever I drink > or eat > > > anything, I feel like there is an alien in me.
