Sorry, Poochie. I have always had to fight constipation. If I go once or twice a week, thats good for me. I sometimes do an old fashion enema if it goes too long. A laxative is a last resort for me, because they can be addctive.
And then I have the oposite problem..My anxiety cause me to have Diahria, now and then. Maybe it all evens out, in the end?
Warm prune juice also works, sometimes.
Good luck..
