Hello,
I am having issues with my bowel program and intermittent use of magic bullet suppositories. For the past 11 years, I have regularly done my bowel program every other day using digital stimulation, with the occasional magic bullet or magnesium citrate if things get backed up every couple months. My program typically takes 20 to 30 min. Last spring, I began having to use suppositories more often, as I was regularly constipated and having little luck with digital stimulation. I would have nothing for a program or two and then one large program which would be again followed by nothing for a couple programs. My diet did not change, nor my activity level. Unfortunately, while the suppositories work very well in regularly removing all of the stool from my bowels, they have been taking longer and longer over the past few years (They are not expired as I regularly replace them when needed). It used to be that they would work within 30 or 45 min., but now it is more like 2-4 hours. I will have some stool within the first hour or so, think I am done, and then have an issue in bed a couple of hours later. Every time.
Obviously, nobody wants to wait four hours to fully relieve themselves, especially when they cannot get in and out of their chair themselves. I tried searching for techniques others have tried when running into a delayed suppository reaction but did not find exactly what I was looking for. Anyone else have this problem and developed a solution? If I use a suppository (which I try to only use when I absolutely have to), I usually use one magic bullet or even half of one, which works just as well. I read on here that some people use two at a time? Does that speed things up?
Thanks
