has anyone tried this for constipation and is there cramping?
Crazy but i have had PD for 3 years and just started C/L never had constipation until now is it from the meds or the PD?
ANYONE? any other suggestions for constipation i cant go to work with cramping
The following supplements have resolved the problem for me:
1. 1 Magnesium 400 mg NOW capsule-after supper.
2. 2 or 3 Mag-07 (Aerobic Life) before bedtime with water. (amazon.com/Aerobic-Life-Dig...
I hope this benefits you as well.
what about cramping/
do you get any cramping using this
No cramping.
Yes I had constipation from PD due to drying out of my GI tract. No cramps. I found that Docusate sodium, aka Colace, solved the problem. It also turns out that melatonin solves the problem too well and I would not recommend it.
colace?
i will try that then since that is what the pharmacist rec as well.i just hate the cramping feeling of laxatives so i hope to use something that wont give me cramps
smooth move is great...just take at bedtime and you'll have relief in the morning, no cramping but best to be near the toilet!
Smoothe move gave me cramps. Lots of water and exercise helps, plus a "squatty potty" has helped me a lot, check it out on Amazon. And magnesium.
Constipation is a non-motor symptom of PD. It was one of the many I had before I started on C/L. I've never tried Smooth Move so I can't comment on that. I went to a gastroenterologist and of the many things he gave me to take the only thing that works for me is Miralax. I take a double dose daily and I have no cramping from it. If you want to give it a try I'd start off with one dose daily and work up to two. Do it over a weekend so you'll know what to expect. We're all different so you may have to try a few things before you find the one that works for you. Good luck!
Isn't it time for Constipation,like Mr Dangerfield to get some respect?
