Metumucil is the best because it's adding fiber to your diet rather using a laxative. You HAVE to drink a lot of Water.

If you're constipated now, you may need a fleets enema to get cleared out and Metiumucil will keep things moving.

I've been using benefiber.

Was in ER with this problem 2 weeks after surgery! Since then, I take a stool softener every night, probiotic every morning, and for 3 months after my ER visit, I took Miralax in a glass of juice every morning. It's been a year and no more problems!

Dulcolax is my go to. I try to do it at least once a week. Works fast and cleans you out.

My family doctor prescribed Linzess for me. I still take stool softeners twice daily. The Linzess is for when those aren't working well.

Magnesium. Try a powder called Calm. I still have it after 1 year. I think it'll always be something to be mi full of. Also daily stool softener.
