Do you take something daily for regularity? If so, what do you take?

I personally put Miralax in my morning protein shake.  No taste and it makes things much better for me.

Not every day but when I notice I'm getting irregular I use the Walmart brand of Miralax in my water or other drink. It has no taste to it so I don't mind taking it. It works well for me.

not at this point...i have to be careful with extra fiber as it is a little too effective even after surgery. Definitely no FiberOne or Benefiber. I took the meds the docs gave me then miralax daily for 2+/- months. Drank a ****tail of miralax and prune juice if i got constipated...worked like a charm. Had to stop the miralax eventually because, again, it was too effective and caused an opposite problem, if you get my meaning.

Miralax seems to be a popular choice here.

Miralax every morning in my first bottle of crystal light.

Generic colace with every dose of calcium and 2 tablespoons of generic Benefiber in my decade every morning.
If I go a day without a BM I might add another tablespoon of the Benefiber at night or take a dose of MOM.

I take milk of megnisum by the 2 nd day if I haven't gone.  It seems to help. My doc said no fiber or miralax.

I swear by 3 stool softeners and 2 Mag-Ox (by Blaine) every night.

I used to constantly fight consitipation, started this a year ago, and am very regular with (sorry) HUGE "movements".
