Hey guys! I’ve been struggling with lately and now I’m getting scared. I’m sorry if this is tmi but I need some advice. My bowels are hard little pebbles and are covered in this yellow/white jelly like mucus. What’s going on?

Try magnesium gel caps. I had the same problem and tried everything. Last doctors visit she recommended starting with two magnesium gel caps until regular then down to one (each night). No cramps. Works like a charm.

My GI doctor told me that Miralax is the only constipation medicine that your body doesn’t become immune to over time. Mix it with some water and solvable fiber and you’ll be good as new. When I have problems, I take 2 doses per day. And it is virtually tasteless. I buy the Sam’s Club generic.

That will happen with a high protein diet. MiraLax works great also make sure you are drinking at least 64 oz of water a day. I try to drink 120 oz. I went from having two bowel movements a day to 3 a week after the surgery because the decreased amount of food I was intaking.
