I have been dealing with chronic constipation pretty much since I had surgery 11 months ago. I'm currently taking 12 Citrucel fiber capsules a day, 300 mg Colace, and a probiotic. Nothing helps except a handful of laxatives when I can't stand it anymore. I tried Miralax but all it did was make me bloated and gassy. Anyone having such a terrible time with this? I'd say it's a pretty extreme case.....I don't know what to do. Doc just says add more fiber, drink more water, take a stool softener......but obviously nothing is really helping!

I'm pre surgery but do have chronic constipation issues already. I've been taking a magnesium citrate supplement called Calms , by Natural Vitality. It makes an effervescent drink but if you let it sit awhile all the bubbles go away. Doesn't work immediately like a drug but definitely keeps things loose and moving.

Maybe aloe Vera? Whole Foods sells it in liquid form and you're supposed to take a shot daily for GI health.
