Question exercise? certain exercises better than others?

Several things, but I have to switch them after a short while.
Then I go back and forth.

I wonder how much exercise helps with this.

I have severe constipation from MS, and the million meds I take make it 100X worse.
.
I take:
17.6mg of Sennakot in the morning and 34.4mg of it at night,
1250mg of FiberCon twice a day, and
30ml of lactulose at night.

But none of it works. I don't know why I take any of it other than the fact that my gastro wants me to. I'm supposed to take two bottles of magnesium citrate twice a week, which usually works well… if I take it. If I do, it's once a week at the most.

Magnesium Citrate does work for me; but I have trouble getting it down without gaging.

Miralax can be a bit messy; but after taking a minimum of 3 doses a day; sometimes even 4, mixing it on the counter mat next to the kitchen sink makes any excess easy for me to wipe into the sink.

I did the Mirilax colon cleanse last night.
I used the Gatorade Frost "Glacier Cherry" flavor this time and watered it down a little. It was much easier to drink and didn't give me heartburn, so I will use it again.
But so far I've only gone to the BR once and it looks like that's all I'm going to get out of it

I need to make myself take the magnesium citrate

It's okay. It is what it is.

I HOPE that when I see the gastro NP in a month we can come up with a new plan and all of this won't be necessary.
