You should try a black bomber, medicine cup of prune juice with any lactose medicine like duphalac - it works maybe after two doses, medication I use means I have to use movicol in sachets so i don't think that's otc but I do remember when in hospital the nurses giving me the black bomber - looking at the replies earlier, I wondered for Islay, I never heard of milk for constipation but you are correct - I didn't doubt but just never heard of it then I wondered do you have problems with dairy products on general, lactose intolerant (I know I'm coming away from the original question, sorry kloofnek)
