Hi David -   Sorry to hear of your constipation.........that is just about got to be the most uncomfortable part of this whole journey...................I didn't have it too many times  but when I did - like others said..............Milk of Mag worked the best.........of the glicerin  - suppitories........worked quickly and fast..........................

I now manage my problems with LOTS and LOTS of green tea..........that is just about the only thing that I think of that I'm doing that keeps me regular.      I go at least every other day -  sometimes every day..................without trouble............

Walmart sells the TAZO - ZEN green tea and that is what STarbucks uses..........so that I what I use.......................I love it...................it is about the  ONLY thing that I drink..........I don't doo much coffee and well - water...........YUCH !!     anyway.....

good luck

30 milliliters of Milk of Magnesia before bedtime. Then, for maintenance until you can start having salads and veggies with lots of fiber, take Colace 100mg twice a day with water. Drink 64 ounces of fluids per day as well. If you don't have a BM for two days, take the Milk of Mag. You will be so glad you did!
