Drink a tea called "Smooth Move" it works wonders. No stomach cramping, produces a nice BM. I drink it often as this is still my problem 6 months out, but a little tea and I am good! I get it at Whole Foods, but I have seen it at Trader Joe's as well. Good luck, hang in there it will get better!

Let me just say when it comes it comes. Don't trust passing gas, you may find yourself in big trouble.

I had a full dose of that Wednesday, and a full does of Miralax Thursday, so I am sort of scared to try more of either one.
