Mally Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Can anyone give me some advice on the best way to handle this ....after my combined chemo my bowel seems to shut down and create cement ( sorry for the description ) but 4 days trying to manage this is getting to a depressive state and i noticed the last cycle i had the same problem so im wondering if its the steroid med for nausea or the chemo itself causing this issue ? Ive got the ducalax and movitol sachets but didnt work ...so the nausea is enough to put up with without added gi stresses ..thanks for reading Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Galli Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Mally, Sorry, I don't have a clue. All my GI disturbance was of the opposite reaction. Stay the course. Tom Mally 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaD Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Hi Mally, I just saw your post. I hope you can go by now. When I had last cycle of the Chemo, I turned down most of the meds (anti nausea...sorry I forgot the name of them, there are 4 different meds I was asked to take before and after chemo) they gave me as I know all of them would cause constipation. I ended vomiting and also constipated badly. I used fiber well, milk of magnesia, dulolax, stool softener with oatmeal and lot of water. All these helped. I hope these will help you too.
