I go almost everyday the last 3 days anyway coming from someone very constipated i was using enema's. Thing is i am going now but i am using a stool softener every night but i go several times during the day now and tiny amounts sorry if gross. Should i add MOM or Miralax as well.. is it possible i am going so little because some is stuck? Should i do another enema? Sometimes my lower stomach cramps to the point i get nauseous so i am wondering if it's still constipation? Can anyone help =)

Adding more fiber to your diet (which, at this point, you have to do via a fiber supplement like Benefiber or Walmart's Equate generic version) is healthier than using stool softeners or laxatives.  It helps PREVENT the problem in the first place.  Sorry that I cannot offer any info on the other questions you have since I have not had a problem with constipation.

I wouldn't add it I would say try one dose of milk of mag. After that I would see your dr.

I went 12 days with no BM as gross as it sounds I decompacted myself. (I'm a nurse)
