Consult with your doctor.

Having struggled with constipation since the soft food stage, I had to be put on Linzess from my doctor. It really works much better than stool sofeners and laxatives.

By the way, I am nearly 2 years post op and still struggle with constipation. I don't think this will get better for me and trust me I have a lot of Fiber in my diet. Before surgery I had the opposite problem.

Give them a call and see if this might be an option for you.

I am suffering as well. Taking ng colace 2-3x a day and milk of mag. it is so frustrating.

I feel your pain I'm 2 years post op and still struggle. I have been hospitalized a couple times for it. I recently found using young living essential oils internally really helps. They are approved for internal use and I use 2 drops digize in a capsule with coconut oil melted to fill the capsule once a day. I am actually on a routine and off all prescription laxatives that weren't working very well. I also add 2 drops either lemon, orange, or peppermint to help the burps not be so gross, but I will take gross burps for an hour over the pain of constipation any day lol. I hope you find what works for you.
