Miss Mac 6,262 Posted February 4, 2014 My NUT has me taking prune juice at bedtime. Also, Walgreens carries the Smooth Move Tea, but the local stores did not have it. I ordered it online and it arrived in 4 days. Yes, it works, and they have several different flavors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McButterpants 2,846 Posted February 4, 2014 Metamucil and a good quality pro-biotic worked for me. I also took some Colace when things were really difficult - that was the only thing that helped me when I wasn't eating veggies. Once I started eating more veggies, things got moving a little better and was able to stop the Colace. I still take the Metamucil and probiotic every day.

Laura120 7 Posted February 5, 2014 I spent 8 hrs in the ER yesterday to remove the impacted stool. Extremely painful! I am sore and exhausted. How that never happens again! Taking Miralax and Colace every day now. I pulled stool the size of lemons out of me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
