Are you on narcotic pain killers? These slow down the intestines and bring on constipation. I found the most effective thing for me was to take a dose of metamucil or equivalent with each dose of methadone. If I expected trouble I'd take a little senecot the night before (it's in several of the laxatives). As a last resort or if you miscalculate there are the stool softeners. If all that doesn't work I'm not sure what's next.

Diana,
I am doing ok. Dealing with health issues as usual so I don't get on much. I am going to the Dermotologist today. This is my 3rd and last appt. this week.
I can sleep in tomorrow.

My brother has terminal colon cancer as Mom had so they want to make sure it's nothing major with the colonoscopy. This will be my 4th sibling I have lost to cancer.

Hi Imahotep,
I have been off of the Methadone for over 4 months. Prevacid is the only med I am taking. We have tried meds and over the counter meds for the constipation so hopefully this Gasto can help me.
