BM trouble

Wow, I have never had such a great response. I guess I am not the only one. This happens to me about every 2 weeks. I have to stay home and that sucks. I have such problems. It takes me all day and I hurt. I guess I will try flax seeds but I really don't know what that is.Then I will try something else but Mineral oil????? I just can't. I can hardly say it lol. Thanks for all your great advice. I guess I will be at my drugstore tomorrow and look at all the stuff. Thanks again,you are all great. Cindy

Milk of Magnesia worked nice and fast for me. Valerie

Cindy, A salad a day helps keep the pain away. LOL. Richard

Hi Cindy I take up to 4 generic Colace a night for this reason.. I was constipated before surgery and it's only gotten worse. Happy Holidays! Vickie

Hey Vicki, Where do you get your generic? thanks! Melissa

Hi Melissa ... I realize I'm not Vicki ... but I get my "generic" stool softener at Costco. Since I experienced not one, but two fissures when I was about 4 months out, I've been doing Benefiber, the stool softener, and Fiber One cereal (when I can) ... don't want to do through that pain again!!

Thanks Karyn, Right now, I am only allowed to take Colace... I've seen lots of generics out there, but hadn't seen a generic Colace, so now I am on the hunt! Thanks for the helpful info! melissa

Rite-aid, Meiers, Walmart, K-mart all have the generic brand, sitting right next to the Colace. I don't remember who has the best price, right off hand, I just pick them up as needed wherever I am.. but the price sure beats the colace.. all the time! Your Welcome!

Thanks Vicki! I am on a mission now!
