In the meantime, you may try using mineral-oil enemas and regular enemas to see whether
you can induce a bowel movement. If the
enemas give
you a partial bowel movement, try a
good, safe laxative to further help with your constipation. Dulcolax, 5-mg, is good. The tablets are tiny, and I take three tablets to gain the greatest relief. Your bowels should loosen in 5-6 hours. The Gastroenterologist may need to use an endoscope to look inside your esophagus and stomach for clues to your pain.
