      A dose of milk of magnesia followed by a cup of hot liquid works very quickly without any cramping.

    I use Benefiber or the like. I've also used colace, it's a stool softener. But try to use the Benefiber. I only use the other when it's gets backed up. Oh, drink your water it's important.

    I have the same problem.. My doctor said to take Miralax every day.. That it only directs fluid to your Bowles and helps with elimination! I am a new person!

    I take a magnesium capsule daily. If you can't swallow it, open it. It helps quickly. if you need quicker help, try a ladies stool softner. Best wishes.Karen
