Can some pls give some advice on what to use for constipation ???? ASAP something that works quick sorry tmi but I am miserable

I have been battling this same issue since my surgery 02/27/2014. I was finally referred to a gastroenterologist 05/12/2014

I was advised that I need to try a regiment of miralax (2 cap fulls daily) and also ex lax or an enema every 3 days

My surgeon recommends Milk of Magnesia + stool softeners (dulcolax, Senokot) for quick relief, and for people who need it, an every other day dose of Miralax to keep things regular after that.

I take a BIG mouthful of lactalose. I promise you... Give it 1.5 hours and you will be pooping through the eye of a needle.

It won"t be 'comfortable', per se - as everything moves REALLY quickly. However, you will feel like a new human being afterwards.

Happy pooping

Thanks you guys !!! I am going to try the miralax and see how that goes since I already have it I also tried magnesium citrate and it hasn't done anything , I can't wAit to poop lol ughhhh but I will try everything I can

I have to do everything Laxative, softners, Fiber and suppository. UGH good luck

A full cap of milk of magnesia (4tbsp) but you have to also drink a glass of water when you take it. Stay close to home for a couple of hours:)

You did an entire dose of magnesium citrate (the fizzy stuff in the glass bottles) and got no results? Honestly I would check with a medical person (your doctor, possibly the ER if you are in pain) rather than an internet message board. If you aren't getting anything with magnesium citrate you could be impacted and that needs professional seeing to from my understanding.

I take OTC probiotics daily now. I go once to twice a day now. I did miralax, prune juice, magnesium citrate (ugh) and enemas!!!
