Are there any specific recommendations for management of bisacodyl abuse? Is the approach of stopping bisacodyl immediately ( or tapering it down) + adding lactulose throughout ? Are there any guidelines regarding dosing/regimens/period of tapering bisacodyl and adding lactulose?
There are several alternatives to choose depending of several factors such as age, degree of constipation and so on. Really to move to another laxative is the easiest way to work on it
There are two problems.
The first one is finding an other treatment of constipation with less side effects.
In fact, the real one is the compulsive, semi-delusional use of aggresive cathartics as a means of "cleaning".
As almost all compulsive beahaviours, the cause is depression and it's easy to find other somatic signs of this neurological illness, like appetite, sleep,vegetative and relational disturbances. http://bmaroy.free.fr depression, english version.
To use a rich fibre diet and to walk at least 2 kilometers every day are specially useful in order to avoid these of laxatives
The first intervention would be to stop the stimulant laxatives and replace them with fibre/osmotic supplements utilized to establish normal bowel movements. Education and further treatment may be required to maintain a healthy bowel programme. In the case of an eating disorder, referral for psychiatric treatment is essential to lessen the reliance on laxatives as a method to alter weight and shape. Severe complication due to long time take of there laxative is melanosis coli and hidroelectrolyt disturabance.
