constipation and laxatives

Postby falco22 » Mon Sep 08, 2008 9:20 pm

I no longer have c diff thank god , but i have IBS and most of the time i am consitpated. I would like to try Milk of magnesia . do you think by using it It could mess me up again? I have tried all the fiber stuff for weeks it does nothing for me but give me a noisy stomach. Anyone use a laxative after c diff?

I have never used laxative's for my IBS. I have seemed to be a little more on the consitpated side here in the last few months but, have not wanted to go to the extream of taken a laxative. I am NOT saying I recomend it but, if you think that it would make you feel better, my opinion is to talk to your Dr and see what he/she thinks.

Sorry I couldnt be more of a help to you.

falco,
Check with your doc. This is a medical question -- we don't give medical advice.

laxatives

Oh I understand we dont give medical advice I just wanted to find out if anyone has used a laxative since C diff and what the effect was. My doc wants me to start taking fiber even though I told him it doesnt work?
