Wife just had a hysterectomy and is constipated from pain killers. She needs relief that won't cause cramping. Enema maybe ?

Hi ict39Narcotic pain killers are known to cause constipation, probably, in part, because they reduce motility of the bowel.A gentle approach would be to try some Vitamin C (which softens) and magnesium citrate (which encourages peristalsis). Often these nutrients, which naturally work together, are deficient, so they might help in other ways, including healing from the surgery itself.Here are some links that I hope will help with how much to take.Good luck!
