I used senokot until I discovered the herb cascara segrada. It has helped me enormously in maintaining regularity. Good luck Shelly. We all know too well the frustration, anger, and embarrassment caused by unpredictable bowels.

The reason for nights is ... if there is still some more to come out I won't be in my power chair, but I'll be on some chucks in bed. Early on in Quadhood my programs where every other day, but that got to crazy because I always had to figure out if I was going to miss something planned ... days, weeks or even months a head of time. Now, if I were to use just a suppository or an enema. I'd have a huge delay in my program. So, what I do (and others) is to use senna or sennicot 8.6 mg pills. I take 2 and a half 10-12 hours in advance of my BR to allow for these pills to work on bringing my stool down in my body. I'll even take a 50 mg capsule of colace at the same time to keep the stool from becoming to formed. I hope this helps, Keith/34/C4-5/NJ-11yrsPost PS.
