Guest guest Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 My MIL is moderate/advanced and just recently her bowel is not moving stuff out until she's in a lot of discomfort etc. I won't go into more detail. At Doc's direction we use Miralax every day which helped for about a month but now though things are soft they still aren't moving. Her doc suggests using duculax suppository to get things going - it irritates locally and that causes a reflex action to start up. Before I go there I'm wondering if anyone has other possible suggestions I could run by her doc? Or if anyone has tried this duculax and how does it work? If this is not appropriate for this list, please accept my apology - I am just trying to find how to manage these things and it seems like every week it's something new. My husband and I and two caregivers are managing her daily care here in our home. Thanks so very much Dorothy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
