Hi Daniel I am writing back to you so I can give you more information to help you. I like the webpage http://www.apparelyzed.com/ . It has information on it about almost everything those of us who are quads may need.
I also found information about laxatives below. You stated you have been a quad for 10 years. Has this been a problem for most of this time? The article states laxative use on a regular basis will cause your bowel to stop working well, and you will keep needing stronger and stronger laxatives. It sounds like you need to try more natural means of elimination. If you cannot get to a doctor, you may want to try some of the suggestions they have here. Drinking prune juice or orange juice, using pressure or rubbing manually, eating more fiber, etc. What to avoid:REGULAR USE OF STIMULANT LAXATIVES These include bisacodyl (Dulcolax) tablets, phenolphthalein (Ex-Lax), cascara, senna and magnesium citrate. Laxative use on a regular basis will cause your bowels to become dependent on them. When this happens the bowel will not work well without the laxative, and eventually the "lazy bowel" that results will require more and stronger laxatives to work at all. An occasional small dose of a mild laxative, such as Milk of Magnesia or an herbal laxative, can be used to treat constipation if other measures have not worked. (We recommend that you use no more than three doses per month.) http://www.sci-info-pages.com/bowel.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- Вижте водещите новини от Vesti.bg!
