I understand your frustration. I have not dealt with the problem you have but there is a group of people with colonic inertia that post alot on our ostomies forum. They haven't had ostomies but a couple years ago, they landed on that forum and started a sub-support group. I would like you to go there and post your questions. You will get much more help: Ostomies Forum

Hello and welcome to HealingWell.  I am sorry you are having problems. 

15 Senna per day is a lot.  4 tablets twice a day is the maxium dose so I do hope you have talked with your Dr. re the large dose of this medication.

Ides has advised you well as the Ostomy forum has lots of info to read through.

Again a warm welcome to the forum.

Kindly,

Kitt
