I don't have an ostomy, but my mom does, and I take care of her when I'm not working. The nurse put her on Milk of Magnesia to prevent her stool from getting hard because it was causing pancaking and thus making the appliance leak. My mom says that the Milk of Magnesia makes her stomach hurt. She is also on Tramadol for pain, which is giving her hard stool. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for taking something other than Milk of Magnesia to help keep things flowing. Thanks.
