Anyone here ever treated for severe constipation? My sisters diabetes is causing another bout...

Enema/suppository is kind of a last resort, but that has been what's worked for me when usual laxatives didn't work. I don't know how severe my case was in comparison, but it was several days without going and painful stomach cramping. By that point I figured a laxative was probably not going to cut it.

The miralax is what they prescribe for colonoscopy prep so yes that's good

This happened to me once and I remember reading that women can assist by pushing from the other side if you get my meaning - google it....

If she is on the injectable weight loss type drugs ozyempeic, mounjaro, ect... it can cause severe constipation.
I have never had constipation severely( and I've been a diabetic since I was 44) until I tried those types of drugs.
Not worth it to me.

Castor oil or prune juice. I used to be cronically constipated all the time back when I used to be a heroin addict. Now I’m 6 years clean lol.

I've had quite a story with constipation and fecal impaction. Now I live on lactulose orally, I it after lunch daily.
