Chronic Constipation
I too had cancer and have suffered chronic constipation... I have tried Miralax and due to the company going over the counter they gave me generic anf that did not work as well. The dosage of powder too was ovwewheminf.I have tried colon cleanses that guarantee cleansing and bowel movwments as well as deoxification. Nothing. Everything becomes impacted along with the food that has been consumed. Enemas and colonic only left me bloated and in pain.Laxatives are of no help either. Hot teas offer relaxation but no bowel movements. Castor oil offers some releif but it take 4 TBS.!!! Epsom salt makes me throw up etc etc...I have currently been given GENTILAX from Mexico. I take 3 tablets at nite and I have several bm's a day then turn to diarreah in the evening. I hae not been able to get any info on long time side effects. Oh I have also tried Reflexology as well as massages and heating pads... Parasite cleanses, Zapping,Foot detox.. HELP...

Enulose And Miralax
I successfully completed chemotherapy for uterine/ovarian cancer and had a few side effects. Just when I thought it was safe to start life again, I learned I had a tumor in the vaginal area. I took 35 radiation treatments. I was told to expect some mild side effects, but they have been anything but mild. I developed Radiation Colitis and I became impacted to the point where I was unable to have a bowel movement. I was referred to a Gastrenterologist who prescribed a high dose of Miralax powder mixed in juice in the morning and a high dose of Enulose in the evening. The dosages were way too high and at one point i thought I would lose my insides. I went to the ER where unfortunately, they know me well from previous visits for kidney problems. The Charge Nurse told me it would be at least 6 hours until I could be seen and suggested I go home and call my Gastro doctor for help. After my being in agony all day, he finally prescribed Lomotil to slow things down. He adjusted the dosages and I had just a few small bowel movements in the last few weeks. I am still impacted and am gradually increasing the dosages. Has anyone else had a similar experience and how long did it take to get back to normal?
