constipation 3-day combination

Severe constipation helped with 3-day combination

My husband had terrible constipation problems prior to being diagnosed with cancer, then it got worse. We tried many combinations: huge doses of ducolax, phenergan and compazine suppositories, lactulose, Amitiza, magnesium citrate, relistor injections, liquid vitamin C, senexon, docusate, mineral oil and saline enemas, and senecot tea. A senior hospice nurse provided the combination which worked the best and reduced the constipation anxiety greatly: Day 1: Miralax 2 times a day Day 2: Miralax 3 times a day Day 3: A relistor injection or magnesium citrate if needed(NOTE: The relistor injection is amazing for constipation caused by cancer and pain medication but is only helpful if taken every 2 or 3 days; taking it daily does not work.)Expect to have a bowel movement on day 3 and do not worry about days 1 and 2. Or you may find a different combination works better for you, but it is well worth a try.
