Have you tried suppositories? They are gentle, if you get the right kind. I use Bisacodyl suppositories, and they are VERY gentle and work within a very short time. You wouldn't want to go anywhere after using it. LOL

Do NOT use them every day. I would wait until you haven't gone for 3 days or so, and then use them. But you SHOULD talk AGAIN to your doctor and ask him about your inability to go. OR even better, talk to the Hospital Dietician about a good diet that would keep you regular. Eating fruits and green vegetables is a good way to stay regular, PLUS keeping a goodly amount of BRAN in your diet. Eating BRAN cereals and BRAN muffins, etc., helps. Anything made with bran is healthy.

I wish you the very best. Keep us posted ok? God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
