Hey Chrissy, I have the same problem...I tried the milk of magnesia..2 tbls. and it didn't work. Used 4 tbls.....it worked. Also coffee in the AM helps. I spoke to Dr.A about this problem and when all else fails.. it's FLEET time. I use powdered Benefiber..no taste..no grit...and it works. Good Luck....Colleen

Christina - I've had this problem and waiting 3 days was just NOT an option. I felt miserable. So I used Fleet enema (with mineral oil) first, followed by a second regular Fleet's. HAD to get relief! If REALLY bad I also take the max dose of Milk of Mag or Senokot as well. Ongoing - I take 3 stool softeners a day - every day. I used to take it occasionally, but I find the strict regemin of daily has kept me regular. I also take Flax Seed oil pills daily - good for this problem and a bonus anti-oxident to boot. Good luck! If nothing works - call the doctor - you don't want to take any chances! Hugs, Carla

ewwww... try citris of magnesim.... the worst stuff in the world for sure.... but it certainly will do the trick.... then after this episode, you just have to tell your bowel you are gonna drink it and you will RUN into the bathroom! Hope all this advise works! Sweet Mammy

Thank you everyone for your posts. I did finally go. I drank a few cups of coffee and had the chew tabs that are made by Phillips MOM. It worked. Thank God. Thank you again for all your tips. I am going to ask Doctor A about taking the flax seed daily to see if that helps. Thanks again! Chrissy

Hi Chrissy, I had the same peroblem. But it came coming back. So I found small cans of fruit with Splenda. It is made by DelMonte. The peaches and the pears are great. And I found applesauce with splenda also. I try to eat some fruit every day and now I don't get that problem anymore. Hope this jelps. Hugs, Sarah
