The medicines you are taking could very easily be causing you

constipation. A lot of us on here take Miralax every day. It is a

nonaddictive, tasteless, oderless, powder that completely dissolves

in any liquid. It helps with both diahrrea and constipation by

balancing out the fluids in your intestinal tract. You can only get

it by prescription but it is well worth the effort. It is rather

expensive as my deductable for the name brand is $40 but only pay $5

for the generic.

Are you drinking enough water? Behing dehydrated can also make your

stools harder. I'm not talking soda, or juice, or tea, just plain

ole water. IBS can also cause constipation. I have had it for along

time and I think a lot of cp sufferers have to deal with IBS. I dont

know why, but it just seems that way.

I hope this helps some.

I drink lots of water, not alot of caffiene & no soda. I do have colitis which

I was told is a cousin of IBS though.

Thanks for the name of the laxative.
