Sheryl,
Actually Peggy's advice is good. I should have attended to both problems with my oncologist immediately but instead I let them drag on, until I was nearly in the hospital myself with severe constipation. My biggest mistake when I was on chemo was not being more insistent on getting and accepting help. I let the problems drag on far too long (too proud to insist I needed help) and by the time I came to the third round, I thought I was going to die and refused to do another. If I had called my doctor immediately I would have been advised what to do. But do also drink plenty of water. And what I used was Colace for the diarrhea, and finally for constipation, Senokot, both recommended by Oncologist.
