Camilla, Parlodel constipated me the worst of all. I use SWISS KRISS herbal laxative tablets--softens everything nicely. It is from Modern Products, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They have a listed tel. no. Availailable for about $5.99 per 100 tab bottle in local stores. My prayers are with you and Peter. Good luck.
