Obstetrician and Pharmasict are giving conflicting info.

My OB Nurse Practioner told me I could use Muralax through my entire pregnancy w/o issue for my severe constipation. My Pharmasict says it's a category C and I shouldn't use it long term.

Who do I believe? Anyone have experience with this?

Also, I can't stop eating apples. You'd think that would help. Pff.

@mrslee04 me too Mrs. Lee. Me too. This makes me nervous about this NP now though!

I say trust the pharmacist, everything I read online says it is class C. Could you try colace instead? And lots of prunes!

I had been using colace and it kind of wasn't cutting it. Muralax was so awesome. This sucks so bad. Prunes

Call me crazy, I find prunes yummy...that or eat raisin bran cereal or raisin bran muffins, both good! I have been trying to have a small fruit cup of peaches for fiber too! Does caffeine help you go? Coffee works for me...so if I am having an especially bad day...I force down a cup or coffee or a DD coolata to get things moving. Usually only do that once every few weeks though!

Unfortunately foods are not doing it. I drink a coffee everyday. All my girls want is fruit. I eat a TON of fruit. This is beyond food.

Ugh! That stinks...what about Metamucil instead? Have you asked about that?

JuliaAndPete · October 2013

That's what my Pharmasict said. I might give it a try. It's kind of my last option. I drink a gallon of water a day. You'd think that'd be enough.

My only advise is have the Metamucil with a juice, not water. It gets a weird consistency...the flavor of the juice kind of masks that! Just take it like a shooter, big gulps, haha.

Ok. I'll try that. Thanks!
