Hard poos...

What can I take to solve this problem???????

My surgeon prescribed mirilax for this problem. I am supposed to take an Iron Suppliment that causes terrible constipation. He also suggested milk of magnesia which is readily available. Hope you feel better,

I take colace. You can get it at any drug store or supermarket. My Dr. told me to take up to 3 at a time.

Do something! I would not care what it was either. I tried everything. I had to go to the doc back in January I was impacted. Yes nasty. They had to go and dig. Humiliating, degrading, disgusting, you name it I was there. I then had to continue by doing an enema for two weeks. I just try to get lots of fluids in and that usually helps. Also I think the bacon that I ea is a little greasy and after a day or two it happens. I do notice if I try to get my protein in with shakes instead of food this often happens. Increase your activity a little. I also have the miralax. Insurance does not pay for it. I pay 20 dollars. I do not know if it helps. It is cheaper than the beniful. That also helps. I just have to use more of it. Try the liquid increase and walk a little more than usuall. My mother told me to drink a cup of coffee straight. No decaf. She said that the caffeine may make a jolt. Hope that helps.

I am able to go (I go daily) its just very hard poo which as I'm sure you know, can be painful.

Hi, I have the same problem, i take 1 stool softener gel cap each day with my vitamins in the morning. i have noticed it really helps. then about once a week or so, i have to take a laxative at night and then the next morning i am cleaned out and all set!! hope this helps ya stacy

I take one Equate (wallmart) a day with my vits and it has made a very positive change for me. CJ
