Dr. Pepper used to be made with Prune Juice a long time ago, I heard once. Back in the 60's. Now it just has flavoring.
Licorice is good for bowels, digestion, will help out with clammy feet and hands. Read the label and make sure that the candy has licorice extract in it and not just licorice flavoring. It is also a great anti-inflammatory.
Awful subject, yes. My best friend always tells me when I whine that I must be full of s*&t and tells me to go eat some Good N Plenty. Haha gotta laugh.

Well, I never heard of licorice for bowels. I'll sure get some and chew and chew and chew, ha! ha! Also, I've been told by friends that Dr. Pepper has the same affect. Remember, when we put Karo syrup (dark or light) in baby's milk? Well, a teaspoon will help us too. Check out colonics to get a good cleaning. Afterwards, the lady I go to at colonicswithcare.com gives me some probiotics to replenish the good bacteria the colonics removes. When one gets impacted, a good colon cleanse is sometimes necessary. Ugh! What an awful subject but a necessary evil....right?
Take care and God Bless all of you who suffer with these painful adhesions.

I take Swiss Kriss Herbal laxative - it is gentle and effective and will get things going without cramping.
Go to Doc sooner if things continue the way they are now!
OH! Licorice is great to get things going - I stock up on Good and Plenty as it is made with real licorice extract and is fun and pink and white and, after all, "a spoonful of sugar" DOES help the medicine go down.
What about probiotics to replace all that the anti-biotic flushed out? Kefir, yogurt - or go to your local health food store and ask for the freshest probiotic.
Best, Donna

Ok now i'm worried again, OK i've mentioned ot some on here how my back has been killing me ok , well Let me start from the beginning. about 3 weeks ago I had a toothache took some anitbotics and it went away. Then I got bronchitis took azithomizine for that got loose stools with that for 13 days did stool sample on tuedays everything looked fine loose but fine ok problem is I haven't had a stool since tuesday. I've tried miralax, exlax, nothing enemas nope nothing. My question is could I be getting obstructed? I have no real pain just fullness and some twangs of pain now and then. I have high pitch bowel sounds I can hear them sitting here. what do you all think. Have drs appt next thursday.
