With my first preg I took Zofran and became so terribly constipated that I had to see a surgeon and do many awful things only very old people should do. Last preg I did frequent enemas, stool softners, laxatives, etc. and nothing helped a lot. I guess I'm one of the rare few that Zofran paralyzes the bowel (per my dr). Anyway, now I'm pregnant with #2 and trying hard to avoid a repeat episode. So far the stool softners and occasional laxatives are working okay, but I'm not even taking 1/2 of the Zofran I should be (because I'm so afraid of the constipation). Has anyone else ran into this problem? I feel like I'm 90 yrs old!!! Is there another med that maybe wouldn't cause this problem?
Thanks!
