    If 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 Constipation   
    A 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!

    I 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.

    I 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].
