Bulk forming laxatives are best.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear patient,
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query.
Have gone through your details and i appreciate your concerns.
In general, bulk-forming laxatives, also referred to as fiber supplements, are the gentlest on your body and safest to use long term. Metamucil and Citrucel fall into this category.You can use them for years without any side effect.
However as this is acute phase an osmotic laxative should be taken initially for 21 days with bulk forming laxatives.
As per my experience Polyethylene glycol is better than lactulose in outcomes of stool frequency per week, form of stool, relief of abdominal pain and the need for additional products.
So start taking 2tsf metamucil once daily at night along with Polyethylene glycol 30 ml once daily at night.
Hope i answered your query well.
Thanks and regards.
