The Best Invention In the World (may be TMI)

 Since my surgery I have had problems with constipation so I have been following Vitalady's protocol and it works good.  A little too good, in fact.  Now my stools are very soft and it is hard to get myself clean.  I have tried baby wipes but they just were cutting it.  I have tried to cut back on the Miralax and magnesium oxide but then the constipation comes back and I decided I would rather have the softer stools instead of the constipation.
So I decided to buy a bidet.  I found an easy one to install that was only $25.  It just came and I am in love.  I don't know how I lived this long without one.  In fact, I am going to get another one for my other bathroom.  I just wish I could get one to take with me and put on all the toilets I use.
This thing is great, especially if you have hemorrhoids or any other problems down there.  I want to find the person that invented this and buy him a drink.

I had problems with constipation also but I bought the Wal-Mart generic vegetable laxative. I take one in the morning and one in the evening. It's worked great. No more constipation but the stools aren't too soft either.

 Unfortunately, I have a rectocele so I have a very hard time going unless they are very soft.  If I even miss a dose of Miralax I am straining again.  It got so bad that I gave myself a hernia.  That is when I started the Miralax and magnesium oxide and I haven't had to take milk of magnesia once.  I used to take that several times a week.

Sorry to hear that. At least you found a way to keep it moving and the bidet! I wish I had better advise for you but it looks like you have things under control.

Where did you get the cheap one? PLEASEEEE....

It was very easy to install.  They have a video on the website that shows you everything and it works great.  Years ago I tried to buy one off of Ebay and it cost about $50 and it didn't fit my toilet.  It was the wrong size for US toilets.  This is made in the US and works perfectly.  Good customer service, too.

Thanks for the info, I thought something was wrong with me. I tried miralax, MOM, walmart natural lax, etc.... not much helps. I drink,drink,drink nothing.
I might look into the bidet if I ever start going regularly. Is it ok to try magnesium without talking to doc first?

 I wouldn't think it would be a problem but you might ask your doctor to be sure.
