A member asked:

Miralax/softeners not working for constipation. i tried a fleet enema but i released it as soon as i removed the nozzle. i haven't had a bm. it's been 4 hours. should i be concerned or is it because i released the fluid too soon?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Constipation remedy: Need more details: have you had any prior bowel surgery or a hernia? If yes, check in with your PCP or surgeon. If not, then try 30 gms of fiber, 8 glasses of water, 4 oz of prune juice, 1 tablet of Peri-colace, 1 teaspoon of flaxseed oil or sesame oil with a glass of warm water with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of blackstrap molasses. You should have a bowel movement after this.
