You are going to need to use a suppository or enema...

Thanks,

I use miralax in my crystal light every other day to keep things moving along.  I have had life-long constipation problems, but NONE since surgery and since following the miralax schedule.

I take  1/2 dose of Miralax every day.  If I miss a day, I'll know it!  Its just become part of my daily ritual.  It works for me.

best of luck,

Carol

I used a glycerin suppository and now use Laxaday every day. It helps a lot.

Glad its not just me. I was so happy to poop today after 11 days (Yes. 11!) without a BM I was actually celebrating it. I am not one to openly discuss bodily functions but boy was today a relief. :D
