[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 496307, member: 1233"] The shot I mentioned is a brand name for methylnaltrexone. At one point I was told it comes in tablets for those who need it regularly. It works by keeping the pain medications from attaching in the gut so they cannot cause constipation. It ONLY works in your gut, it does NOT keep the medications from working for pain, but it keeps the medications from making you constipated. If nothing else, maybe the doctor can give you an rx for some to keep on hand for when the other things haven't worked. Then if you don't go and fiber isn't working you can try it. I don't know how you feel about frosted mini wheats, but they are AWESOME for people with IBS/constipation issues. I cannot tolerate them with milk, but the whole family eats them dry for a snack. Not a lot of sugar but enough that you don't think you are eating hay, and the fiber and bulk are a big help. Plus they have some vitamins, etc.... so they are healthier than chips, etc.... I have used them since my teens to manage my IBS. c [/QUOTE]
