A member asked:

Laproscopic appendectomy on sunday night. started passing gas on tuesday, but none today and still no bowel movement. taking colace, add a laxative?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes you could: You should take some more laxative although it is not unusual to be constipated if you have not been eating normally for a few days. The pain medicines can also cause or worsen the constipation. So eat normally and get some help from a laxative for 1-2 days till you have a BM
