Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

would welcome a bit of diarrhea....

I had a marker test that showed I had a verrrrrrry slow colon. No reason for it -- colon is perfectly healthy and pink. Just slooooooooow. I have been using a combination of turkey rhubarb (daily), senna (every couple of weeks), and 2 doses of Miralax (daily). The Miralax by itself stopped working about 2 years ago when I had a 24-hour stomach bug that gave me insane diarrhea; I had to start using the other stuff to supplement. You can't imagine how freeing it would be for me to just take one pill per day and actually GO.

Do you go every day that you use it? Do you have to take anything else (like Miralax) along with it?

Thanks for answering. I'm at my wit's end. I'm diabetic and have just fought off breast cancer, and I'll be damned if this stupid constipation (going on 8 years now) is the most bothersome of my health problems.
