I found out a product called Restoralax from the people on this board, I have IBS and go between being completely constipated or diarrhea. I have just started taking it and it seems to be helping, not going as much as I would like(still have a sore tummy and I'm uncomfortable but I guess that happens when you haven't gone in 5 days) but it's not giving me the diarrhea like most products do so I'm happy.
My question is for anyone that takes it, is it safe to take on a regular basis? Or like most things is it something I should only use when I'm backed up? I ask because I'd like to take it daily to avoid having issues all together!

    Check with your doctor or pharmacist.

    I have the same IBS problem as you and I have found that super strong probiotic helps a TON. I used to get D daily and now maybe once a month? And I am regular like clockwork. I take one by the brand UDO's Choice. The ones that need to be refrigerated are the best for you.

    Hiya!

    I suffer from horrible constipation!

    My doc said Restoralax is ok to use everyday (well for me anyway) because it's better than the alternative of not going.

    But from what she said it's not a stimulant, just helps draw more liquid.

    My son's pediatrician also recommended it for him and said it's safe for everyday use. :D

    Hope this helps!
