Question on Coffee and laxitive choices.

Good Sunday everyone.

I am dealing with the second case of bad constipation...currentky using Senecot S..benefiber for fiber..milk of magnesia and glicern sopostories.

nothing is really happening..i am drinking lots of water and excersise as well..

What is everyone else using that really helps them??

Also..before I had surgery my morning coffee always did the trick..have a coffee...then off to the bathroom..

Is anyone having coffee after Gastric Bypass..i was once told by one doc no caffeine.. but many others say everything in moderation...im wondering if that may help me with my being so constipated....

I appreciate everyone's replies..i honestly do

thx.

I was really constipated at times and still can be. I used a lot of stuff before I found that dulcolax works like a dream for me. I drink a ton of water every day, eat well and exercise and I still have problems but I think it's more to do with my thyroid than anything.

Best of luck ?
