Glycerin Suppositories. I got them at Brooks Pharmacies. What funky little things they are. But boys do they ever pack a punch and they work in about 2 minutes trust me. One is all you need.

KABOOM!!!!!!

Thanks again everyone for your support today through such a delicate matter? In the end everying went real smooth!

he uses the dulcolax, stool softeners, all to no avail.........i will get him the glycerin suppositories........but to add to the long list of remedies.....
a neighbor of ours was told by her doctor to try the gummy worms, gummy bears...etc, ya know, the candy that kids like.....i personally think they are horrid, but hey, if a handful a day will help........??????
also for the acid reflux, they have a medication (we get it at sams club ) called famotidine (otc) 10 milligrams.....they give you an iv of it in the hospital when you have this problem.................the doc told us to get it for frank after he ended up in emergency with gerd/acid reflux..............they have it in pill form as a script, but he told us the otc works just as well...same name................go figure.....................

For the acid reflux, if that's just bad heartburn, we use the OTC stuff that is - CRUD I hate when i can't remember the names of stuff!

DARN MEDS!!!!!

Anyway, I'm sure you all know what it is. It's like prevacid, I believe...but it works for 12 hours, you only need one a day, and it's quite expensive...something like $9.99 for a package of them. But it works GREAT. You really DO ONLY need one a day.

Okay, so what am I thinking of? LOL!
