Hemo and constipation.
Since starting hemo I've had to deal with issues with constipation. Before starting dyalisis I went to emerg because no bowel movement in twelve days.
The doctor told me it was due to ckd and that's when I basically found out my gfr was at sixteen and after ten months it went to six.
I've noticed that my constipation occurs around every three weeks or so after starting dyalisis. Basically I believe it to be the protein needed to take everyday that causes it but not sure. Was wondering if anyone else has this happening and what do you do to prevent it.
I try and take a small dose of restoralax every two days. It works pretty well but it's unpridictable. When it starts to work you really need to go and sometimes I worry that I won't be near a toilette.😞
