Another poop question
I had the same problem. I had surgery 7/13 and had been having constipation before surgery. The pain meds always give me troubles, so I started taking a stool softner twice a day on day 4 post-op. I still hadn't had any results or urge by day 6. So I got some milk of magnesia. I took a little over a half dose that night (didn't want to overdo it with my pouch) and had painfree results the next morning.
So I say try some milk of magnesia. It's not a stimulant, so no cramping. I think it just helps glide things along.
