Re: A personal question...Sorry//constipation

[Guest guest]

hi sherri. according to some literature from 1 one of the support

groups i attend:

" ....since the quantity of food intake is much less, & you're eating

less fruits & vegs, the frequency & volume of your bm is reduced.

try to increase your fluid intake to 8-10 cups per day, this will

help soften the bm. try to increase your physical activity to 30

minutes of walking daily, this will help increase motility.

some over the counter products may help:

milk of magnesia---saline laxative

citrucel powder---bulk forming lax.

senokot---stimulant

konsyl---bulk forming lax.

colace---stool softener "

unqoute

& as always, pls check w/ your health care professionals.
