Post-oper's and poopieeee
I was lucky if i was going more than once a week once I started eating solids. Talked to a girlfriend of mine who had surgery 10 years ago and she suggested Papaya Enzyme (can get at gnc for super cheap...also i think walmart) I asked my doc about it and he said that is fine to take. I have had no problems since taking it and I am about as regular as you can be if you count every 2 days...which is alot better than barely once a week....
By the way, Papaya Enzyme supposedly is a digestive enzyme that helps to ease digestion. It seems to help me...

Roughage. Once I started eating salads, I'm more regular now. The calcium was killing me (locked me up every time). So, I switched to powdered UpCal-D calcium. That and the roughage helped and increasing my water.
As a just in case measure, I have my friend Fleet waiting in the wings..suppositories, etc.
A family member is on constant pain medication for a severe situation and the GI specialist recommended Miralax daily, as well as extra fiber and a stool softener. Miralax isn't a laxative like most are and it isn't addictive ... also healthy long term and isn't harsh at all. The family member is regular as clockwork daily now and everything is*easy*. Good Luck!

I take colace every other day to keep it soft and moving. Fiber is really the key, I use benefiber in my water daily too. Just 1/2 teaspoon to 20 ozs. Fluids really help too. Drink as much as you can. IF all else fails, use MOM. Works right away, so don't go too far from home!
When God Makes a Promise, It remains forever true. When your disillusioned and every hope is blighted, Recall the promises of God and your faith will be relighted.
