For me the best thing that I have found to work are prunes. I take 3 a day and that works for me. It tried fiberstat, fiber tablets and they didn't help me.

My Dr. prescribed Miralax. I had the same problem-terriable feeling! Now that I do the Mrialax daily it's a thing of the past and it's not too harsh like some of the over the counter remedies I tried.

I drink a cup of prune juice mixed with a large glass of water. You will have painless results in about an hour. I tried Milk of Magnesia but I got cramps.

I would gladly do a commercial for MiraLAX!!! First my Dr suggested MOM or Dulolax suppositories. I ended up using both and having 1 BM per wk. My nurse suggested Miralax. After 5 days on Miralax I'm regular and I've cut back to 1 Miralax every other day.
