I go from constipated to super constipated, Once a week was hoped for, with Fiber One Cereal, Benefiber, Apricots, lots of water, now I go 2x a week being very diet aware. Once I was fast and regular, every day, same time. Now, sometimes takes awhile and if I get lazy about my diet, impacted and/or huge. I take Phillips Stool softeners a couple nights before I expect it to happen. DH knows when I start singing Johnny Cash "I feel that train a'coming" to get out of my way. Usually don't need to rush so, but I do. Miralax is gentle but taking it or anything makes the opposite happen all night long. Ick.
