I thought of another thing to mention- when I was taking zofran, I had to switch from prenatals to a multivitamin with no iron. Iron made the problem even worse.

I am laughing so hard.
Coffee Too much alcohol (sorry) Anything battered & deep fried Too much salad Target Barnes & Noble A walk, generally when I am the furthest distance away from the house
One of the MWs this go around said that taking colace for zofran constipation was like taking tylenol for labor pains, which got a legit LOL from me. She suggested cantalope, plums/prunes, or psyllium husk powder (metamucil is one).
When I caved to the zofran this time, I did some hippie, no-other-ingredient psyllium husk powder, and yes, it worked. A bit tough to stomach, but results were had.
I haven't read the replies yet, but my mom swore by a cup of hot coffee followed by a glass of cold water. Said the hot/cold combination worked every time and it seemed true to me too.
Otherwise, cabbage, beans....or even better Polish cabbage soup w beans

Blueberries and Taco Bell bean burritos
But for the zofran back up I had to take some milk of magnesia. I didn't know the Colace with zofran tip and lets just say that while I have had two csections I feel as though I have in fact delivered something on my own. It was bad. So so bad. Shudder.
I'm waiting in the car pick up line to get Mar, and I just had to go IN to the school and use the bathroom. Do you know how hard it is to rush through this process? But now 8 should survive until we get to our next stop (taking her to the American Girl Store for lunch).
For future reference, this is what saved me during chemo (also on zorfran)
Cut and pasted from my old blog: Poo Tea: 1 to 2 bag(s) of Senna Tea (available at most health food store) 2 "family size" bags of decafe Lousianne Ice Tea 3/8 cup sugar 1) Brew 2 quarts of ice tea using a Ice Tea Pot. 2) Add sugar, stir, fill pitcher up to "ice" line with water (we don't use ice like you are supposed to).
I drink the full 2 quarts a day when I am at home. I prefer to drink the watered down version over the course of a day. You can also brew a cup of the Senna tea (I recommend honey) and drink it straight. This works. This works very well. This works in about 4 to 6 hours. In a way that I don't really like. Go with the mixed ice tea version
