I take gabapentin, lyrica and cymbalta too and my dr has me taking one colace at night. Seems to work well enough. I don't take methadone, however.

I was taking metamucil and other fiber products, but the dr said all I really needed was a softener and it worked!

For those with constipation issues, I would suggest 2 tablespoons of flaxseed in a bit of juice everyday.

I don't have constipation, I take it for pure health benefits but it works for that. My mom has chronic constipation and I got her on flaxseed and she said its a miracle for her.

AND SO HEALTHY

Hi I was just wondering if anyone has heard of a Bowel Prep called X-Prep ?
If anyone knows how to take this stuff then could you please let me know as I have been given it but the instructions are not in English.

Shane

Hi Shane, I looked it up for you and found the following:

X Prep tablets or granules should be taken orally with at least a full glass of water. Remember, when taking X Prep or any prescription drug to always follow the label closely. Never take more than directed.

I personally would contact the person who gave you the prep. or your local Pharmacist. If given out by a doctor's surgery, then speak to the receptionist. If it was given by an XRay Dept then phone the radiographer.

Greetings Koala77, Just wanted to say thankyou very much as You would be the only one that has given a normal answer to the question. Thankyou again - I think the X-Prep that I have been given is liquid but the only glitch I have is that it arrived on the courier from overseas & had no return or contact details for me to ring them about the product. I will have to try my best on this product. Thanks again

Hi again Shane....we used something similar at the hospital where I once worked. It was called Fleet Liquid and came in a small bottle of about 60ml. The instructions for that was to add it to a large glass of water, and then drink one to two extra glasses of water afterwards.

After reading the instructions for granules, then I'm thinking that your liquid would be similar to Fleet. Good luck. I hope it works for you.

I will check out the Fleet Liquid & hopefully get the right advice
You have do very well so a big Thankyou

This is a monograph on X-prep.
http://www.drugs.com/mtm/x-prep.html

If yours is also contains senna (read the labeling), be advised that chronic use of this is not recommended in US because senna is implicated in causing colon cancer. The "jury" is still out on it, but it is an ongoing investigation.
X-prep in US is used to clean out the GI tract prior to Xrays and other tests.

Fleets PhosPho Soda, 60ml bottle was taken off the market in US a few years ago for safety reasons. Too many reports of misuse and side effects in the elderly, those with kidney problems and small children.

Keep in mind products sold in UK may contain other ingredients so it is difficult to comment for those posters.

Thankyou so much for the great Information that you gave including the website about X-Prep - I will check things out b4 taking it.

Thanks again

Shane
