Is there anything better than Senna tablets for constipation. I don't want to take the drinks types though?!


Question: Is there anything better than Senna tablets for constipation. I don't want to take the drinks types though.?
I have Ulcerative Colitis.

I take 6 senna a day and 3 Docusate, but I still have days when I don't go. And I swing from diarrhea to constipation constantly.

I have taken Ispagel, but it doesn't work any better, tastes disgusting and I can't face drinking it anymore.

Same with Picolax, it doesn't always work on the first dose and I have to take 2-3 before it helps, then it's painful diarrhea, and it tastes so foul!!

I beleive I have a hernia, probably from straining, so hard. If I get it operated on, I'm likely to do some further damage unless I can stop this constant bowel problem.

Can you help. I'm in the UK, so no products that are only available in the USA please.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Flax seed oil and aloe vera juice can be very effective against constipation. You can get both in capsule form if you really dont like to drink them! Another way to take flax seed is to add the ground flax seeds to your cereal. The seeds must be ground or they wont have any effect. Staying away from wheat and dairy usually helps.

Docusates and Picolax are true purgatives and should not be used with your condition, it propagates the ulcers and bleeding from the colon. My goodness, that is the worst thing!

Drink the Aloe Vera Juice to restore some balance, and eat fruits and bran. also drink 6 - 8 glasses of water per day; this helps avoid constipation and is also the cure for dehydration. It's that simple.

Good luck.Health Question & Answer

why can't you call your Dr and follow up.? I know, I hate when people say go see the Dr, but, it sounds like you are really having a time of it, I've been there with the constipation, I just drink more water, add fruits, and, I take a laxative on Sun eve's to help get it started.
