It was sort of hit or miss with the stool softeners in my case. Although, I did buy a bottle of them based on suggestions from the OCF. I ended up switching to Ducolax suppositories for cased of extreme emergency.

A friend of mine recommended that I should try prune juice right into the feeding tube, but I never did try that. My dietician had ordered not only the Prosure for the PEG, but also a few cases of food that had high fiber content to it.

One of the many reasons I wanted off my pain meds so quickly was due to the constipation issues. However, I don't know which problem is worse, constipation or uh.... the other extreme. Sometimes I think we are striving for a happy medium.
