G'day Dasha,
It is amazing I have a cosiderably shortened exhaust system yet I suffer as much from constipation as diahorreah.Over the years I have found that the best form of relief for me is epsom salts. My gastroenerologist suggested I take half a spoon full in warm water. I tried that . If she had have been close I would have throttled her after I stopped gagging that is. The solution I came up with was to buy a bag of gel capsules from the chemist. They hold just the right amount and are easy to swallow-no taste at all.I have used them whilst on diuretics(odema) and methotrexate and arava. They are considerd mild and not habit forming. One of the new colonoscopy preps requires taking around 150 of them so they are not dangerous. I found they did not work at that dose ,I think the gel in the caps clogged up the works. When I was taking codeine based pain killers they were life savers. I don't have any worries now ,diabetes drugs have the oposite effect for me ,I'm just careful not to sneeze. All the best to you and your husband,Hugs,Ron.
