It's hard to know what to do. I have been battling
ARD for a few years and I have never wanted to get
dependent on laxatives.
If I don't take anything then I do not go to the
bathroom for about five days and I am miserable.
I have been told by my dr. and pain dr. that we
MUST have a BM every day or serious complications
can arise. (Blockages etc.) I only take them about
once a week and have found that they are not strong
enough or they cause so much pain that I won't take
that kind. I hurt if I don't go and it is very
painful to go from the scar tissue binding the
intestines.

This is actually very good, sound advice Jen gives.
There are very few OTC laxatives, if any, that are intended for,
or safe for, long term use.
