Need advice on avoiding this constipation....please!

I take 1/2 dose of miralax every day to manage my constipation.  I'm three years post op, and I still need it.  If I miss a day I'll know it.

I assume I'll be doing this the rest of my life, but I'm ok with that.  I just include it in my vitamin regimen.

best wishes,

Carol

I had a similar post last week or so. I would have a movement every two or three days, but it would be super painful. I was doing fiber gummies + probiotic gummies + kombucha

At the response of everyone, I switched to 1/2 capful of miralax daily. So far, its been a world of difference. 

I still go every two or three days, but it is much more comfortable. I'd give that a shot

I use 1/2 dose of Miralax every morning.  If I don't poop in the morning, I up it to 1 dose.  This keeps me nicely regular.

Drink more water, eat more fat.

Kick any pain meds if you're still using.
