Bulk laxatives such as Psyllium are widely used to assist in the movement of sand. A mixture of Psyllium mucilloid and water is administered directly into the stomach via a nasogastric tube. This treatment is continued for up to a week until all sand is fully removed from the colon. Intravenous fluid therapy may be beneficial in increasing the fluid content of the impacted ingesta. | Bulk laxatives such as Psyllium are widely used to assist in the movement of sand.
