Chris: I, too, would think that keeping your bowels moving would be key in
helping to prevent a bowel obstruction. I work at it diligently every day!
(What a life, huh?) It's been 5 years since my bowel obstruction, which was
also my last surgery. Dried apricots also work well as a laxative (like
prunes, maybe a little better), but be careful w/them, they REALLY work!!
Senokot-S (w/stool softener) is my laxative of choice, when needed. Blessed
