a pretty ****ty subject but .....

im always constipated. in watching dr Oz, he said if we have "balls" that means that we are. well i always have that most of the time. not sure if its the vitamins, or not eating as much any more, i dunno ,but in any case if any of you r having a prob like that what r u taking ?

 I have not had surgery yet.  I had this problem when I did optifast diet.  I had to do an enema once.  My only thought is that you add more fiber in the diet.  I hear people write on here that they take benefiber and things like that.

I have a long history of constpation unless I am getting tons of fiber.  Well, no fiber so far.  I took benifiber with my optifast before surgery and started taking it again the week after.  So far, no problems but I am still on liquids.  I do 2 teaspoons in my decaf protein each morning and am good.

I use miralax or benefiber on a regular basis, otherwise Im not so regular          Cindy

 As long as I have some fruit every day, I'm good.

I use some miralax about ever other day, and that seems to do the trick for me. Plus I do one colace capsule twice a day. Got constipated once really bad after surgery and dont want to go there again!

I take meds that do this to me, constipate, make things more solid.  Try Phillips Colon Health Probiotics.  Works wonders.  Since I started taking it a couple months ago, I've been regular and it's "softer".

 Add me to the list of the chronically constipated-something I never had a problem with before surgery.  As a matter of fact, I just recently experienced the joy of my first hemorrhoid from all the straining.    Miralax has helped tremendously.  I took it everyday for the first five days and now I take it every other day.  The name brand is rather pricey, but you can buy the generic version more reasonably.  Good luck.

I did the firsr few months then the doc told me Benefiber. I been using 6 teaspoons a day and never constipated again. Unless I forget to use it.

thank you everyone

happy Sunday !!!!!
