Anyone here ever treated for severe constipation?

My sisters diabetes is causing another bout of severe constipation for days. She went to urgent care today and they told her since Miralax didn't work, take stool softener, an enema and Metamucil fiber..she's afraid of the strong Miralax did not work, that these new treatments won't too. Anyone ever have any other med/treatment?

What about not eating and just drinking lots of water until it passes

@Muthafukajones She's not eaten in three days now, and drinking enough, yet was today in horrible pain. So she's trying all these treatments together...

@Coralmist when I say drinking I mean like drinking a gallon of water a day perhaps with some orange juice or lemon or lime juice in it.

@Muthafukajones Yep she drinks close to that. It's Bec her case is typically worse than a regular person...it's her high sugars which cause it as well. So normal treatment doesn't help as much
