Jeff--re: getting movement-- if you want another suggestion in addition
to the vitamin C one, here's what has worked wonderfully for my husband.
Chronulac(generic = lactulose) syrup--1 Tbsp in 6-8 oz. water
AND
Propulsid (generic= cisapride) 2 tablets
taken 15-30 min. BEFORE each meal.
The cisapride moves stomach contents, the lactulose moves them on
through intestines. Expect to wait a few days for maximum resulta
to occur, but used regularly it has been a blessing to us.
Both meds need prescriptions, BTW.
Also, there's lots of info in the list archives on constipation--take a
look. Good luck--- Camilla and Peter Flintermann, Oxford,OH
