Severe Constipation 11 Months Out - What Helps!?!

[smith08817 23]

Probiotic daily with a colace tablet is what my doctor suggested. It works well and can be taken long term.

I'm pre surgery but do have chronic Constipation issues already. I've been taking a magnesium citrate supplement called Calms , by Natural Vitality. It makes an effervescent drink but if you let it sit awhile all the bubbles go away. Doesn't work immediately like a drug but definitely keeps things loose and moving.

Maybe aloe Vera? Whole Foods sells it in liquid form and you're supposed to take a shot daily for GI health.
