Fiber supplement?
Ok Jeff I am going tell you straight from my experince.
I started having constipation problem a few months after my surgery.
I tried encreasing my fiber ect ect... but the one thing my pcp said to do is take Miralax everyday.
Thank God for Miralax.
I mix it with my crystal light everyday and once a month buy the largest container which 17.9 ounces and that last me for a month.
I know many people on here also take Miralax too.
On days that I dont feel I am getting the best results I will take one cascara sagrada
at bedtime.
For now just taking the Miralax everyday seems to be working wonders for me.

PS the recommended serving of fiber each day is 25 grams and I think the fiber tablets have only about 3-5 grams per tablet

Hi Jeff,
While losing weight I took Benefiber. If I became constipated, Miralax was a Miracle worker ... gentle, natural, no bloat or gas pains. I rarely have to use it anymore because my diet is more varied that it was before.
Wishing you all the best,
