REGLAN

My mother was on reglin (and she gave some to me when I was sick with my gall bladder problems). The only use I know of for it is to make the stomach empty out. You know how sometimes you feel like your meal is just sitting there and it won't empty out and it's making you a little nauseous? The reglin will make your stomach empty out.

I guess his theory behind this is that your constipation issues are caused by motility problems--your food stays in your guts too long (I don't know if reglin makes your intestines empty out like it does your stomach, but it at least gets the process started with the stomach). You gas may also be caused by your food sitting in your stomach and breaking down in there instead of lower down in your intestines.

Worth a try to see if it helps, at any rate. I'm not aware of any serious side affects with it, other than I was always revenously hungry the morning after I took it (I got sick at night usually) because there was nothing left on my stomach. It never made me poop more that I am aware of, but when I had to take it, I was sick with stomach problems and diarrhea at any rate. It's not a laxative; I think it's just a motility drug for the stomach.
