So I guess I need to do this on a regular basis? I've never had this problem....even when I was preggo.

Pearls Probiotics help keep me regular. They took about 2 weeks to kick in, but before surgery I used Sustenex which worked really well and I wanted a smaller sized pill after surgery, so I switched. In the beginning right after surgery it can be a bit of a rough transition, I had to take MOM.

I'm in Aus so products may differ - my doc told me to take fibre but only BENIFIBRE brand as it is the only one that doesn't grow or something in the stomach.

I had heaps of this and prune juice, it took 2 days of this but was regular after that

I don't think you can buy benefiber in the US any longer I'm not seeing it. I found a brand made by costco that I've been using a flavorless a fiber powder.

Might be a good Idea to call your doctor and see what they recommend :)
