HI.
First of all one has to get he position of the bowels load by a simple X-ray abdomen in a standing position.
This is very true that when everything fails , the age-old ''soap-water enema'' works the best. First try routine enema.
The Domperidone and kinetic medicines may help you for gastroparesis, which is the reason of constipation. Please take opinion of your Gastro - if this is a chronic problem.
