Constipation can be a difficult problem after surgery. After several months after surgery I developed this complication. After trying several stool softeners that gave me no relief, I finally resorted to inserting a glycerin suppository up my rear end every three days. Obviously I did not want to make this fix a permanent thing. I stumbled onto a simple fix. I found that if I ate an apple before I retired for the night, I would have a good BM the next morning. The trick is that you must also eat the skin of the apple. This approach has worked for me for over a year.

Constipation can be brought on by a lack of fluids, so make sure that you are meeting the requirements in this department.

Other suggestions on past threads for this problem are:

Smooth Move Herbal Tea

Prune juice (warmed)

Prunes (4 in the morning and 4 at night)

Magnesium citrate

Insoluble fibers (Garden of Life Raw Fiber or Renew Life Triple Fiber).

Haribo sugar free Gummy Bears

Aerobic Magnesium 07

Low Fat Bran Muffin (recipe). 80 calories each

1 cup flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon cinnamon

2 cups bran Cereal

1 ¼ cups milk

1 egg

½ tablespoon applesauce

optional: banana, berries, mini chocolate chips

Bake 400° F for 22 minutes

I took mirelax for 3 days, then added milk of magnesia for the next 2. Finally, success. It gets better. Coming off of pain meds helps too because narcotics cause Constipation.< /p>

Haribo gummies are my favorite, but never knew the sugar free ones worked like that. Hmm...

Anyone know if it's safe to take Ex-Lax?

Miralax when I'm in real trouble otherwise Benefiber daily does the trick.
