A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many of us physicians prescribe flagyl often & consider it a safe medication. Improve bowel function by drinking lots of fluids& eating fiber or taking supplements like Metamucil daily. Regular exercise helps. If you tend not to get urges for BMs, taking a gentle bowel stimulant like SenokotS daily according to instructions should help. Try to avoid laxatives.
