A member asked:
Is it safe to use a sodium picosulfate based laxative everyday for a prolonged period? if no, then what's the safest laxative to use when you have gerd too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948 Wish you good health!
