constipation
"As I aged my bowel motions became increasingly difficult. The physicians I consulted recommended more water, dietary fiber, exercise, etc. but none had a lasting effect. I tried synthetic glucose derivatives - lots and lots of gas and cramps! For me dietary fiber produced too much uncontrolled gas. The osmotic agents produced too much water loss and I was warned about potential electrolyte imbalance. Finally I tried PEG3350 and Nirvana! It's convenient, tasteless, dissolves in all liquids, stable, and for me no apparent side effects. I discovered if I titrate the dose I control the nature of my bowel motion. As an OTC product it seems to be one of those rare preparations that won't put me in the hospital."
