I had a similar situation after surgery when beginning to eat again. I used suppositories and increased my fibre intake with fibre 1 or benefibre. Have to drink more that way though. Daily BM may not be the norm for you now. If you are taking enemas all of the time though I would consult my physician as there might be a blockage or twist that is causing this. Hope you find this helpful, good luck to you. Regards

I had constipation ssues prior to surgery and they only worsened after. My surgeon suggested Milk of Mag every other day. Worked like a charm.

Dulcolax works overnight. Very fast.

you can take milk of magnesium . and use a suppository or a fleet enema to help release with out pain. But you need to add more vegetable, fiber. Broccoli beans is great source of protein and fiber. and drink water.

There is a powder magnesium suppliment called, "Calm" that you mix in your water. It is all natural and seems to be VERY effective! I hope your body adjusts very soon! Hugs n Skinny Thoughts!
