I know you are a taking a stool softener, you also need to increase your bulk. Salads, fresh fruit, if you are worried about calories eat plenty of celery. Sauerkraut is good too, and juices, such as apple, or prune. You might also think about using a rectal suppository every monday, wednesday and friday. It's important to have your bowel function on a regular basis. Many people take a bit of mineral oil each day, which is quite cheap. If the suppository doesn't work on the regular day, then follow it with a fleet enema. I know it's awkward to talk about these things, but you can really get sick if your bowels aren't moving. Good luck Kaylene __________________________________________________ Quote
