No go! I find I go days without pooping! Its driving me crazy - because I feel like I have to go, but all I have is GAS.. SO..MUCH..GASSS..

    Beano for the gas? I use Smooth Move teas if I have trouble going. Are you eating enough fat?

    My wife suffers the same... very gassy and goes days with out going.. She is on a high dose of iron due to a iron deficiency and her body not being able to absorb and store iron.. with the high dosage of iron it will bind her up.. she takes a stool softener every night. (docusate sodium) and by doing so she is very regular now.. as far as her gas problem by cutting back on the sugars and carbs it has almost eliminated that problem.. With you being on other meds.. I would run it past your doctor before self prescribing... the side effects from one my influence another..

    Before breakfast in the morning drink 4 ounces of prune juice followed, 10 minutes later by 2 large glasses of water.
    Works like a charm but you must drink water!!! So, you'll have to pee a lot-it beats being dehydrated and constipated!

    Call the doctor(s) who prescribed the meds and ask them what to do about the constipation.

    Try prunelax or smooth move tea. Both natural and very effective.
