Hi lars601!
Wow...you're very close to the time to depart to the ...!
Please check with your medical provider about using stool softeners, teas, or any other bowel remedies. Every patient's needs are unique in this regard. Upon your discharge from the hospital, you should ask about this. When I was discharged from the hospital, I was told to use Senekot (a laxative) as needed. As it turned out for me, no assistance of this sort was necessary.
Many s and Best Wishes,

smooth move tea and or stool softner
I asked my Dr about smooth move tea or peppermint tea to help with the gas, and she said no problem...I put some in my bag to take to the hospital, and the nurse made some for me as soon as I was awake enough to drink....(I used peppermint tea...couldn't find smooth move, and I knew that they would give me stool softeners in the hospital)....Just ask you Dr....
