Re: Constipation stemming from medication - suggestions, please

Hi AngelPuppy1,

A great product for you to use with constipation would be Swiss Kriss herbal laxative tablets. Take 1 to 2 at night before you go to bed with a glass of water and you'll feel relief the next day. This supplement is available on Amazon.com as well as drugstore.com, vitaminshoppe.com and many other health item sites and is all natural. This supplement has been around for decades and was made famous by the musician Louis Armstrong who used it himself regularly and was a huge fan. I hope this product brings you relief, I highly recommend it and personally can say that it has helped everyone I have recommended it to. Best of luck and please consider my advice. Best of luck.

Ask the doctor for a recommendation.

Once you get yourself going again, try drinking 2 ounces of Aloe Vera Juice a day. I use this to cleanse my body and keep myself regular. It has a watery texture and the taste is tolerable.

I am taking medications that were causing similar extreme problems and am just coming back to life, finally, after trying everything for years. I have found great relief and regulatory by taking Andrew Lessman (Procaps Laboratories) Essential 1 and Friendly Flora products everyday. I like that these are natural products with essentials that your body needs with no stomach upset. You can find his products online. Hope this helps.

If you are taking a medication prescribed by your doctor and it is causing constipation or any kind of side effect, call your doctor before you try to medicate yourself. Let your doctor figure out the best way to mitigate the side effects without undoing what the original medication was supposed to do.

Re: Constipation stemming from medication - suggestions, please

Thanks to everyone! Since I am taking quite a few meds, I would prefer to take something herbal, over the counter, or food oriented to correct this. I have a very sensitive digestive track and any little thing gets it off kilter. Unfortunately!
