What Do You Suggest For Sluggish Bowel Movements?

hello yes I was prescribed the new pill Linzee and it made me feel really weak and out of it after about the second week so I stopped taking it. I am a quadriplegic and has a lot of trouble moving my bowels especially after 26 years I believe the end of my Colon, the nerves are still okay to me it s just that my BM s have become so large and if they re not soft they traumatize my colon so it is gun shy when the next one comes along. So I just keep thinking mayor lacks twice a day and a mild laxative when I need it that seems to be okay better than the Linzee let me know anything Thank You Very Much N

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the constipation due to the nerve damaged as it is being mentioned here or the history is given then better to follow the medicines given by neurologist and no need to try anything beside this but care needs to be taken for diet it has to be semi solid or liquid diet you have to take, the former tablet if not working well then you can talk to the doctor about this, try to avoid the laxative because it wont work here because it could be the pathological condition you must be having hope this information helps.
