ask you doctor for a perscription of lactulose. I found it worked really well.
None of the over the counter or "home remedies" worked for me during chemo.

Lactulose is a sugar which is not metabolized and absorbed by the body. Rather, the bacteria in the colon or large bowel break this sugar down into acids. These acids, in turn, pull water into the colon and soften the stool.
