I dont know if this will help but I had the same problem at the Health Food Store you can get these pills called Colen Cleanse by Advanced regularity Formula and it will help you while on treatment. I eat Cherries Grapes anyting that helps its the meds they can really mess with the tummy! I take 4 every couple days helped a lot.
Since your down to your last week, all you can do it stick it out.
Although you'll feel better once you stop, it takes time for all the side effects to go away. Have you tried ginger ?
Sorry you've had so much difficulty.
LoL!! I really needed that belly laugh. Thanks.
To bbj2856, I know your situation is far from funny right now. I do enemas for constipation. That and lots of water. Last shot though, so you should be doig better in a bit. Hang in there, the worst seems to be over.

Interferon can cause digestive upsets.
As cheppie points out, drinking lots of water is important.
Also, what do you eat ?
Its important to be careful when having constipation to try and eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.
It's summer, eat lots of fruit, make fruit smoothies.
Avoid beef, simply because it's hard to digest, the same is true for cheese. Nuts and seeds are hard to digest too.
If you're no longer doing the vic, then also watch your fat intake.
If you are already doing all of these things, don't hesitate to call your doctor.
How much water are you drinking?
