Hello Everyone!
Quick question,
I had read here about some papaya pills that would relieve constipation but
i don't remember what they are called :/ or where i can find them. Oh, and I'm not
that sure that they were papaya either lol!
Please help :)

 Papaya (also pineapple) enzyme tabs will help your stomach, but I've never known them to do anything for constipation. My go-to guy for that is Miralax.

ugh, I hope your find something that works for you! I just had my 3rd fill Tuesday and did two days liquids and 2 days mushies.. and omg.. the worse I suffered yet.
Milk of Magnesia works but you have to drink a full glass of water after it. Not recommend to try and do after eating or drinking... I was too full to drink a full glass it did not work.
I am going to have prune juice on had for the future!

That's what happened to me, every time i get a fill i suffer after but i just think of the rewards and try to bare through it..... it hasn't been this bad in a while tho, since right after surgery :( I'm having oatmeal for dinner so we'll see how that goes too!

I just went and bought some Magnesium Citrate.. I am still have issues!! ugh..makes me not want anymore fills or no more liquids.. lol
I am only going to use 1/4 of the bottle that should fix the problem I hope.

Beneful makes a sugar-free chewable tablet that works.
