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.

myralax worked for me but I did not like the powder aspect of it, it is messy got on my counter etc. I wish it came in a pill form.

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.
