Jerrilyn reacted to GreenTealael in Bowel Obstructions and Chronic ConstipationIf you drink 1/4 to 1/3 the serving evening before it will produce a bowel movement the next morning. You don't have to drink a lot, just a little to stay regular. Experiment with the amounts.
Pure Senna tea is also a little less harsh in it's effects I find, compared to Smooth Move, but your results may vary.

Jerrilyn got a reaction from GreenTealael in Bowel Obstructions and Chronic ConstipationA friend recommended magnesium so I thought I might try it. I would like to do one thing at a time so I have an idea of what is working and what is not. I have also used Smooth Move and it has always been effective, but only on the weekends! I agree, not ideal on work days. This week focusing on Miralax daily and then add from there. Thanks so much!

Jerrilyn reacted to CristinHope in Bowel Obstructions and Chronic ConstipationI drink Miralax every other day, presently. Since surgery Nov. 6th, I've had constant constipation problems, something I never had beforehand. I always get all my water in too so that's not the issue. I drank Smooth Move tea ONE time and had such a horrible experience from it, I've never touched it again. For me, Miralax does the trick with no cramping, bloating, or unpleasant side effects. I still don't regret this decision, at all! Totally worth it and the Miralax makes it completely manageable.

Jerrilyn reacted to Wickedwinner in Bowel Obstructions and Chronic ConstipationI just started taking Calm, a magnesium product. It was recommended by a nutritionist and is supposed to help regulate bowels. It hasn’t really worked yet but I’m only on day 3 so I’m going to give it a week or two.
I sometimes take Miralax and/or Smooth Move Tea but they can give me the opposite problem which is not ideal on work days[emoji15].
