My bowels just don't want to behave- it's like the whole process is totally uncoordinated now.

When things started to slow down, I started taking 200mg colace every morning... when that wasn't cutting it, I took miralax... then dulcolax... and an enema... and still ended up in the ER after 8 days with no action. They prescribed magnesium citrate, eventually resulting in 2 days of liquid diarrhea.

I started taking benefiber on the recommendation of my MS specialist and LE44, but I still can't move my bowels (4 days now) and now I've got abdominal pain.

I saw my PCP this afternoon, resulting in this combo of meds:
benefiber, 200mg colace, and a tbsp of lactulose up to 3 times a day

I just feel SO sexy.
