Suggest An Alternative Of Dulcolax For The Treatment Of Diverticulosis
My gastroenterologist advised MiraLAX for my universal diverticulosis. It works very well except causes massive flatus with an unhappy aroma. I switched to Dulcolax but it only works sporadically. Do you have other suggestions? How about prune juice? I think a stool softener, not just a laxative, would be best. I am an aged physician myself, but this is not my specialty. Many thanks!

Hi,
You may try Cremaffin Plus Syrup for stool softening effect. Use Benefiber or Metamucil fiber for bulk formation of stools. Eat green leafy vegetables and fruits, avoid cool drinks and spicy food. Do regular exercise and yoga. Use Movicol sachet in one glass of water twice a day for five days.
If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
