Thanks! Are you doing a Colace stool softener, OTC?

I use any generic brand of stool softener, currently, I use Costco brand.

dont be / suprisedif it takes several caps of stool softener more than the recommended. You can't take too many do increase them every night till you get the stool that is comfortable and easy to pass

I had to take 3 dose of Miralax a day. yea. Not cool. But nothing else works.

maybe it would kill me one day ..or not. But if I don't take it- the constipation and gas pain would kill me in a week or 2.

I put 2 teaspoons (1/2 a dose) in my coffee each morning. My doctor was fine with me taking a full dose everyday, but that's more than I need.

I add a half of a capful to my morning protein shake five days a week. It's a lifesaver for me. My colon thanks me for the smooth love

I go in cycles. I always have a slew of laxatives and stool softeners around LOL. Miralax is preferred, but if I suddenly get back up I have suppositories as needed because it makes me sick, fast. Like severe nausea and pain.

But the thing that's been working for me lately?? Friggin kale. I just like it, but the stuff is literally cleaning me out. I've been trying to eat it a few times a week now!
