I have not had a bowelmovement since. I could not hold down liquids today. I took 4 oz. of prune juice and 2 tsp. of milk of magnesia. Anyother suggestions?Janice Wed, 11 Mar 2009 01:21:11 GMT jreindel 2009-03-11T01:21:11Z https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/Treatments-and-side-effects/constipation-post-op/m-p/1022#M521 I had a hysterectomy last Tuesday, Dec. 2.

It was so bad that I had to take him to the hospital to get things moving again. Pear juice is really good, however the Oncologist suggested a cocktail of Senna granules(1tablespoon) and 20mls of Agarol in a glass of milk or with ice cream. This has worked a treat. Apparently a very old fashioned remedy but has worked and he now has one of these a day to keep things moving. It took 3-4 cocktails to get things on the go but still it worked. I was making him 3 a day to start with but now back to just 1. Good luck with it all, oh and just for a little while try a fairly liquid diet. Eg. milkshakes, soups etc. Of course check with your doctors first but this has worked for my husband.   Wed, 11 Mar 2009 01:23:11 GMT https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/Treatments-and-side-effects/constipation-post-op/m-p/1023#M522 Sharon55 2009-03-11T01:23:11Z
