I agree with Gary that constipation is a very frustrating problem we encounter.I remember not being able to go to the toilet for a whole week. Taking prune juice can be a solution but if you have severe mouth sore and swallowing problem, it is out of the question. The doctor gave me some kind of medicine to overcome constipation but with little effect. This dark period covered about three weeks until I could take food gradually and I drank a lot of milk, cereal and soft melons to deal with it.
