Redo2017 247 Posted August 21, 2017 I would suggest benefiber everyday until you start adding more fiber into your diet. A stool softener is a good idea as well. Stool may be very hard to pass after no going for so long. 1 catsaretops reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
