 My doctor recommended, and I swear by, Miralax.  It is different than a regular laxative.  It "pulls" extra water into your intestines rather than it being a stimulant.  I am down to a half cap a day, (it's a powder) sometimes skipping days.  You can put it in anything to drink-it's tasteless and colorless.  Often, discount stores like Wal-Mart, sell their brand.
Good stuff.


   COMPARISON is the thief of all joy.

I am taking 4-6 Colace a day, plus a cap of Miralax, plus at least one serving of Benefiber. And for breakfast I eat Kashi GoLean. And blueberries. And I am still having a miserable time. I am really working hard to get the fluids in, but still constipated. Horrible. Sorry you're having such a "hard" time :)

 colace works wonders for me.. but I accidently bought the gel tabs and I have a killer stomach ache from them today.. but the regular tablets work great, I take them everyday and never an issue!  constipation sucks!!

 I use Miralax each day and it keeps everything moving nicely and I don't get diarrhea from it.

I tried miralax but gave me lots of gas! Even taking 3 gas X at a time didn't help with the gas.  Does it give any of you gas? I find that Ready Fiber helps me...but had ran out and tried miralax until the shipment came.
