Lactulose syrup is a gentle, mild but effective laxative to 'help' things along. It is a natural sugar and works by increasing water in the gut. Doesn't rob your body of vitamins like some other laxatives and does not cause cramps. Different brand names like Actilax, Genlac. You can get it from your pharmacy. You can also try microwaved pureed pears. HTH
