Alendronate Or Alendronic Acid
A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've been on Alendronate for about a month. Started having less bowel movements. Got to the point to where I couldn't go at all. A whole week I was so bloated I was in severe pain. My doctor told me to stop taking it and come in. The earliest appointment I could get is in a month. What do you think my other options will be?

Welcome Disneypal! Lots of good ideas on this friendly site! I would recommend prunes (also high in calcium!) and figs, fresh or dried.
I take Dulcolax when necessary as well. Extra fluids help too especially water.
Coffee can dehydrate you as it is a diuretic. Hugs
