Why has my constipation returned after stopping my prescribed medications (Gerbisa, Rinifol, and a liquid medicine), even though I drink plenty of water and eat a high-fiber diet?

Asked by Male, 19 · 11 days ago

Medications like Gerbisa (bisacodyl) and your liquid laxative work by actively stimulating your bowels. When you stop them, your digestive system can temporarily slow down as it adjusts to working on its own again, a common reaction called rebound constipation. Rinifol supports gut health, which also takes time to stabilize. Keep up your excellent fiber and water habits to help your body retrain naturally. Please consult your doctor to discuss a gradual tapering plan or safe long-term management.
