A member asked:
I have severe chronic constipation due to slow colon transit. no laxatives work so doc wants me to try golytely bowel prep daily. is this safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chronic constipation: Using golytely bowel prep on a daily basis is a fairly common step after routine laxatives have proven unsuccessful. It is certainly worth a try. Good luck.
