Laxative Forums (Page 24)

I was a chronic constipated. After the colonscopy and endoscopy it was known H.pylorie traces and severe gastritis. I am advised to go for sompraz hp, and almok 250. It is just two day since I started the pack. Now please inform when I can see my bowel movement. All what I eat is getting stuck inside my stomach. I dont see any movement of gas in my stomach.please advice me.

I was instructed to take 4 tables and 268mg Miralax for my colon test which I did and then later in the evening I had a seizure and was transported to the hospital not knowing anything for several hours. I was in ICU for 2 days. Could this have been from the medication I took for test. They did MRI, and all kinds of tests but could not come up with an answer. I had never had a seizure in my life. ## Hello, Pat! How are you? Sorry about what happened to you. I doubt it could have been caused by the laxatives and if the doctors don't think so, then that also casts further doubt on it. But why did they have you prep with them, rather than just doing a regular bowel prep?

Can drotin tablet be used to push out motion when stomach is paining? ## No, that wouldn't be the right medication to help with constipation and cramping. Have you consulted your doctor? That would be the best way to discover what's causing the problem and find out what the proper solution might be. What type of foods do you normally eat?

IS SHEL CAL CT IS HELPFUL IN KNEES PAIN, AND DIES IT CREAT CONSTIPATION. ## This is nothing more than a calcium supplement, therefore, if the pain is in the joints and caused by loss of cartilage or injury, it isn't going to do much for that. And yes, Calcium supplements are known to cause constipation in some people that take it. Are there any questions or comments? ## what is the difference between Shelcal CT and Shelcal 500 ## IS SHEL CAL CT IS HELPFUL IN ELBOW SURJURY

this is a very light blue pill found on ground with the letters PMS on one side of it and 411 on the other it is a quarter centimeter thick and about half centimeter in diameter it is round in shape what could this be ## Since this is a Canadian tablet, I can't be 100% certain, but from what I'm finding it has been identified as containing 8.6mgs of Sennosides, which is a laxative. It is available over the counter. Can anyone else confirm this?

I have a problem bloating gas acidity and constipation will unizyme work ## From what I could gather, Unienzyme is a digestive aid containing the following active ingredients: pepsin (60mg) + fungal diastase (100mg) + activated charcoal (75mg). The indications for this medication list it as a treatment for flatulence, chronic gastritis, and indigestion. You may want to also consider using it along with plenty of fluids (primarily water) to help dissolve any additional food that might be causing blockages. I hope this helps! ## I am taking Clopitab, Revelol and Aspisol, after an angio procedure. Aspisol, I think, produces lot of gas in my stomach, resulting in very fouls smelling gas very frequently being released through rectum. Can I take Unienzyme or any such medicine without impactin...

Ivan' get to the bathroom in time, and because of knee arthritis and back nerve impingement can't lie on the floor. I will be using mag citrate first. Can fleet enema be taken on the toilet? ## Hello, Based on my research, Fleet Enema (Sodium Biphosphate + Sodium Phosphate) is meant to be taken rectally. So unless you're able to get ahold of the oral (solution) version of the drug, I'm not sure how you'd be able to properly administer it while remaining in a sitting position, if that's what you're referring to? However, for convenience purposes you may want to eventually consider trying the oral product. I hope this helps!

I take gentilax for constipation, but I just learned I am pregnant. I have had no bowel movement in two days though, usually I would just take a pill but are there any risks involved for the growing fetus? ## Angela, since you are pregnant, it isn't wise to take anything, before checking with your doctor. It is the best thing to do for your safety and the safety of your baby. It is probably okay for you to use fiber supplements, as you usually need a higher amount of it while pregnant, but only your doctor can say for sure. Do you have any OB Gyn already? ## Thank you so much for the response. Yes, I do have an OBGYN already. I have an appointment on the 15th (sono to make sure baby is in uterus) then seeing my doctor after sono. However, I am taking Meta-mucil as told by my nurse a...

Hi I'm 19 nd last night I felt constipated so I took the pill, I woke up at 4 midnight to go poop nd while I took the poop my stomach hurt, so on the morning at 9 I went again nd this time there was a lot of blood nd I had diarrhea, nd Im still bleeding from there. ## Hi, Omar! Is it bright red blood, or is dark brown/black? If it's bright red, there's a good chance that it's due to hemorrhoids, or just irritation of the anal mucosa from being constipated and taking the laxative. But dark brown/black could be due to internal bleeding. Either way, you really need to see your doctor to have yourself checked out, there could be a dangerous health condition involved here.

no natural motion daily please give me advise to this problem ## What types of foods do you eat? Are you on any new medications or supplements? Many things can cause constipation, foods, drink or medications, thus more information is needed to properly assess your situation. Do you have an adequate dietary intake of fiber? This is quite often an easy solution that is very commonly overlooked. Have you consulted your doctor for assistance?

I ave been prescribed by Dr Pantocid for my acidic reflexes. After using the tab every morning, I suffered efrom severe Constipation. to check, when i stopped i had normal motion. Pl advise me whether i shall continue the same medicine or any other suitable medicine to cure my acidity. pl adv ## Hi, Ramarao! Sorry about the problem you had. What type of diet do you eat? While you should consult your doctor to be sure, it may be that you just need to add some additional fiber to correct this problem. Many fiber supplements are readily available over the counter and this can frequently happen with various medications in people that don't take in enough of it in their daily diets.

I would like to start the first prep early so I can get to sleep early the night before my colonoscopy. How early can the first dose be taken? ## Hello, Are you referring to the Suprep Bowel Kit? If so, I read that Suprep Bowel Prep Kit should be used as a split-dose regimen, that basically means that you take two 6-ounce bottles of Suprep. The first 6-ounce bottle should be taken the evening prior to your colonoscopy and the second 6-ounce bottle is taken the morning of your colonoscopy. Be sure to drink additional water like the instructions for use recommend. Always follow your doctor’s instructions on when to begin using the Suprep Bowel Prep Kit. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Suprep Details Does this answer you question? Please post back if you need addit...

I Am 60 Years Old and have just been diagonised with High Blood Sugar , Dr. asked me to take Glycomet 500mg three times a day but taking two tablets seem be Ok , got Constipation which I never had what is the Reason ???? ## HI, Mohan! How are you? You say that taking two tablets seems to be okay, but what are you basing that on? Are you checking your blood sugar levels regularly? These tablets contain the active ingredient Metformin and it usually causes diarrhea as a side effect, along with nausea, dizziness and flatulence. It really isn't known to cause constipation. Learn more Glycomet details here. Are you taking anything else new? Are you eating a different diet now?

Hi I don't like swallowing pills,so I'm looking for alternative means to use my laxatives.either inhaling(aerosol or gaseous form) or cream(absorbtion through contact with skinghands).any ideas pls. ## To be honest I actually haven't heard of any type of laxative than can be inhaled or rubbed on through cream. Are these actually real or were you just speaking theoretically? If you're not one to swallow pills, powder laxatives may be the most convenient form to use that I know of, because you can simply stir it into a glass of water or raw juice. Something else to consider is that many types of fruit, such as apple juice also contain a strong laxative effect. However to battle chronic constipation, I'd even suggest combining it with prune juice. I hope this helps!

I've been trying to figure this one out for months. I find lots of results for this pill but none will have the one side blank... I'm stumped. Please help! ## Based on your description, the closest match I've come across is a small, round, green pill, with what appears to be a "P" in a circle on one side, and "L over 10" on the scored side. This particular pill happens to be a 10mg PMS-Loxatine pill from Canada, and is used to treat symptoms of schizophrenia. Manufacturer: PharmaScience Inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, corn starch, croscarmellose sodium, D&C Yellow No. 10 Aluminum Lake, FD&C Blue No. 1 Aluminum Lake, FD&C Red No. 40 Aluminum Lake, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, lactose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulos...

My doctor has advised chymonac tabs. Alongwith D-Gain & Gemcal -DS for degenerative changes in LS spine. I have constipation problem after taking these med. Pl. Advise is it side effect of these med? I am 70 year old. ## Based on my research, 'constipation' is in fact listed as a side effect of Gemcal-DS (calcitriol). If however, its become too bothersome or severe, I would strongly recommend contacting your doctor as soon as possible to find a more appropriate solution. Have you considered supplementing with any laxatives or digestive enzymes to help breakdown food blockages in the intestines? Just adding a bit more fiber to your diet may even help relieve much of the constipation. Fruits such as, bananas, dates, rasins, apples, apple juice and apple cider are also natural ...

I had yellow watson 853 in my purse. A "friend" stole some. What otc drug can I get that looks like it to put in its place for her to "steal". Would prefer some sort of laxative or something that would make them sick. ## I hope you are aware that doing so, even if they are stealing from you, would open you up to a possible lawsuit and prosecution for criminal endangerment, if it was ever discovered that you did so on purpose? It is a sad, but true fact. The charges can even be compounded and made much worse, if the product you chose turned out to be something they are allergic to and/or made them seriously ill and put them in life threatening danger. There are many look alike pills on the market, however, if the person knows anything about them, it wouldn't have the ...
