Constipation from meds

Lounge

I just cleaned the bowels of Calcutta out with two gollops of my dad’s laxative, emptied to the gut

@san_pedro, If anyone has problems in this department from meds, I suggest they get something called a “Squatty Potty”. It really helps. And it’s pretty cheap. Only about $20.

Yes but only from clearing out the stool and water from the body. It’s not true weight loss

10

can it speed up metholbolism ?

11

No it can’t @san_pedro

Also make sure you drink lots of water. I have had this rib pain thing for probably the last 6 months or so and they think it is the meds causing me to be like this:(
I take colace(?) I think it is called.

When i was on a higher dose of Metformin i had diarrhea a lot. After i lost weight i went on a lower dose and the problem mostly went away.

I do, too. Is it bad to take miralax every day?
