Well....       05/17/06 06:13 PM Edit Reply Quote atomic rose Reged: 06/01/04 Posts: 7013 Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!) Technically, all laxatives are considered an IBS no-no because they're harsh and can do more harm than good... not to mention you can become dependent on them very quickly. (By the way, gastros don't always know what they're talking about - not that I doubt you're blocked up, but we're talking about the same group of doctors who usually tell patients to "eat more fiber" and send them home to figure it out themselves... so take it all with a grain of salt.) That said, I've had some times where I've been very blocked up, and I've used glycerin suppositories with good results - things got moving, no dependency, etc. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
