I am trying to find help with extreme constipation. I am wondering about surgical options or about new laxative options that have worked for others. Presently I receive botox injections to the puborectalis muscle. This has helped somewhat, but the problem continues and is very difficult to deal with.
Have you tried Lactulose Solution? It has helped Jim tremendously. His PD doctor prescribed it for him.
Hi again,
I asked this question originally and I wanted to let anyone reading know how I've been doing with the constipation problems. I followed ErenaMirandaMcGinnis suggestion and got a prescription for Linzess from my doctor. I started with the 145 mcg capsules and have just increased the dose to 290 mcg capsules. It seems to be working, but it's too soon to be sure. I take the capsule first thing when I get up, wait about an hour for breakfast and coffee. Within about an hour after breakfast, everything works!
I'll update this in a couple of weeks.
John
I have suffered from constipation. I have solved my constipation by drinking a daily dose of dense nutrition in the form of Shakeology by Beachbody. It has helped me tremendously with constipation and at the same time helps my gut microbiome with prebiotics and probiotics. I have more energy and less food cravings. I became a coach with Beachbody to buy it at a discount.
I am keeping it all natural if possible.
Thanks so much for all your answers to my question. I still have major problems with constipation. I have
ended up using an enema every other day. It is better than the laxative pills because it works faster. Please keep up your suggestions, everyone. I'm sure they will all be helpful to someone on our web site.
