Hi Waverley:

Thanks for the infro on the suppositories. I know Barb said they work

good and nothing else seems to help Fred, so I'll try one more thing.

Got to fine something that works.

Carol,

Charlotte has great success with Colace (a stool softener) - Note - the

generic name is docsolate sodium (some brands seem to call it ducsolate

sodium) AND is MUCH cheaper - works as well. We are currently running about

1 tablespoon of the liquid for 2 days and off a day.

Our doctor recommened it to avoid ememas.

Take care, Bill and Charlotte

Bill,

Rob uses a generic stool softener also, which is the equilalent of

Surfak, I think it is ducsolate calcium. Unfortunately, that alone

is not enough for him - the MiraLax really does the trick though.

Dear Carol:

Ken too took Miralax and Surfac regularly, but sometimes they were just not enough. Then we would try the suppository, and if that didn't work, we would give him a Fleet enema. Of course, it was only four days before he died that we discovered that a huge bean burrito worked the best of all. Too bad we didn't figure that out earlier; ken would have loved to have one of those every night.

Love, Barbara

Barbara ,

Isn't a huge bean burrito rather an explosive method of constipation control

:o)? Did it come from Taco Bell?

Take care, Bill and Charlotte
