For me, dates, raisins and prunes don't cause any problems. So I'm optimistic about this formula.
I don't take senna or any of the cathartic laxatives regularly. Only when things get really stuck. Which, before this antibiotic treatment, wasn't all that often as long as I was doing my regular daily routine.
The aloe product I've been on for quite a while is called Atri-aloe. There seems to be some disagreement amongst my various docs and health care practitioners and this board as to whether it is habit-forming and damaging to the colon. Perhaps my recent experience is the proof that it is. Or maybe it's just that my colon is "paralyzed" after such an intense drug treatment. Who knows.
I had to do antother enema yesterday. It's always a trade-off, because allthough it alleviates the constipation, my gut is always super traumatized for at least a day or two afterwards. Lots of bloating, cramps, gas and pain.
Sheesh, it's a lose-lose battle right now. Hoping for a change. I'll keep you all posted on the Fruit-Eze and if I can ever reach my doctors again at Cedars.
