Suggest Remedy For Lack Of Bowel Movement Post Stomach Infection

I d had stomach flu 5 days ago. Mostly vomiting x5 hours with some diarrhea.,Feel good now but no bm. I tried a fleet enema with no results. Held it for 5 minutes. I feel fine but we are traveling in 36 hours and I need a bm before I leave home. Would a dose of Milk of Mag be a good idea?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Try a dose of Lactulose 30 ml instead of milk of mag. It is a good laxative. Drink a lot of water. Hot soup and tea also helps.
