Question: Hello, Doctor - My name isXXXX and I reside in XXXXXXX. I have cerebral palsy and am now confined to a wheelchair (I can no longer weight-bear through my legs due to the CP/muscular contractions). Because of the CP, I have a "lazy bowel" and my peristalsis is very slow. To keep things moving, I am currently taking 2 Dulcolax tablets every second day (early in the morning) to keep things moving. However, peristalsis seems to be slowing down even further (maybe because I am now laxative-dependent). I had a decent bowel motion this morning (even though I didn't take any laxatives last night. You also need to know I've been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (and am taking 2 Trajentamet capsules a day - one at breakfast, one at dinner. My question is this:- What would you recommend I should take to enhance peristalsis? I've just been talking to a friend, and she recommended Normafibe (granules) - 2 heaped teaspoons a day with plenty of water. Normafibe is a fibre supplement, to be taken with food. Would Normafibe clash with Dulcolax tablets? And would there be any ill-effects with my diabetes medication? Please advise. I look forward to hearing from you.
