I had never had this problem before and now I get it about every 3-4 weeks. Is there something I can take daily to prevent it? Miralax and MoM say not to use for longer than a week. HELP!!

Yes ever since I had the surgery not been regular go one a week! I hope this gets better! Good luck to you.

I use Miralax. I don't use it every day, just maybe once or twice a week or if I feel I need it.

Had the same problem. Nutritionist just told me to put an ounce or two of All Bran Buds (found at Walmart) in my Greek yogart daily. Also to eat 3 dried prunes a day. Will see if that works??

I use Miralax every day to every other. Works wonders. My doc said it was fine but you may want to check with your doc.

I use Miralax every other day as well. I put it in my water. Works great otherwise I'm stopped up all the time.

Dried prunes? Are they too high in sugar?

I do 2-4 colace a day then 2-3 times a week end up taking miralax

I chew a few fiber choice daily to keep things moving. When in doubt talk with your doc. Best Wishes

Dried prunes? Are they too high in sugar?

Huh..I just read the box. It said 15 g sugars for 4 prunes. I don't eat them all at once. I spread them out throughout the day...but that is high

How bout something a little more natural. Libbys pure pumpkin is a great source of Fiber with minimal calories.

A serving is half a cup with 5grams of fiber and 2grams if Protein for 40calories. It also has niacin and is a good source of Vitamins.

Not to be mistaken for canned pie filling.

What do you do to make it palatable? Pure pumpkin doesn't taste that fab....

Now mind u I'm still pre-op. But in the past I would use the pumpkin with cinnamon and sugar substitute. I would start with just a quarter cup once a day. It takes a few days but had success with it.
