I've experienced chronic constipation for about a year and a half, was in the hospital 3 times due to being impacted. It's been usually under control since the last hospitalization in September, I've been taking Miralax daily before then. What I believed helped was advice on this forum cutting back on fiber.
A couple times, including the last few days I've experienced C, not going much at all. Who knows why that happens, I can't think of any different food I've eaten lately. I was prescribed Lactulose when leaving the hospital last September, only used it once until yesterday. I took a dose last evening and this morning. Fortunately, it seemed to help somewhat - what is nice is it was without D. I guess time will tell the next few days, but for now I won't take any more. I wonder if anyone has had experiences with Lactulose? Seems like it's relatively safe - the main side effect just D. I couldn't really find if it was Ok to take frequently - but couldn't find anything cautioning against it as with some other meds.
