Lack of/hard bowel movements

Going through chemo right now. I am eating regular for the most part. This has to be a side effect because I used to be like clockwork in the morning. Have had to use an enema the last 2 times I had to go and even then the results were minimal. Tried stool softeners, suppositories and today the prep concoction with the Gatorade and Miralax for a colonoscopy with zero luck. I assume at some point this could be dangerous. Don’t know what to do.

Are you going but it’s all liquid or are you just not going at all?

Seriously, I’d talk to your doc.
Less serious, some Indian food could fix you right up.

Sounds like side effects of chemo. See what your onc says about it, I’m sure he can help.

Been there. Capful of miralax daily along with a stool softener daily. It’s what my oncologist recommended. Until you get regular you may want to double it.

Metamucil is your friend, drink it before bed.

Are you taking opiates to help with your treatment? This is a very common side effect of regular opiate use

Ask your Dr for Linzess. The lowest dose is 72mg and you can take it daily. Works great.

What chemotherapy regimen are you getting?
