Re: Re: Question - long-term use of Dulcolax/Cindy

[Guest guest]

Cindy,

Thanks so much for your reply. I'm impressed that your son will handle

the suppositories without a problem and that it works so well. Who do

you see for motility issues? Is he on a g tube? Asher has been g tube

fed for over a year now b/c of such motility problems. When did they

start having these problems?

The cecostomy is working great now that we are putting the crushed

Dulcolax tablets directly into his cecostomy tube.

Re: Question - long-term use of Dulcolax

Dear Anne:

We use Bisacodyl (generic of Dulcolax) suppositories every day for Seth

(he's 13). This was prescribed by a pediatric motility doctor. I

asked about long term problems and he had said they use this for a lot

of kids long term without problems. It works for Seth and we haven't

had any resistance. It's been almost three years of daily use now.

For him, it was our last effort prior to cecostomy. Hope the cecostomy

works using this method.

Cindy (Mom to Seth and Ben, both mito)
