Benefiber powder. Put a teaspoon in whatever liquid you are drinking. Works great.

They all take up to 72 hours to help. Miralax works pretty well for the immediate situation. After a really,really bad time during my first two weeks out, I started taking psyllium husk capsules twice a day (Fiber Therapy at Walmart). Haven't had a problem since. Work on getting your 64+ oz of fluids in every day. That's very important in controlling constipation too! All the products I researched seem to work by making your "stuff" absorb Water, making them softer and easier to pass. So the more water you drink, the better. Okay, I just grossed myself out so I'm signing off. :wacko: Good luck!

I take a stool softener (colace) pill every day and have for months. I am about a year and a half out and had trouble with it from the surgery on. Doctor says it wont hurt anything to take it long term. He also told me to drink more Water, as that is what is causing the problem in the first place.
