Hey all! im starting a new thread in response to my previous "surgery in 3 days!" one. I am 2 1/2 weeks post LIS and in the same boat as before. I can't get off this laxative without causing hard stools and re-tearing. How long did you take it straight before you were able to get off of it? Or rather...how long have you been on it? I really NEED to find an alternative as I am TTC and I don't want to be taking it while pregnant.
Could you switch to colace? I believe that is safe to take when pregnant.
