In my view, the "best solution" depends on the individual. Not only is the working of your own body (and mind) an issue, there is the factor of how much time and money you want to throw at the problem. Some will do a lot of work to solve their constipation problem with lifestyle, diet and "natural" products. Others would like a pill. I am in the former camp.

I’ve really put a lot into resolving this constipation issue, including doctor visits, tests, research, vitamins, supplements, fiber rich diet, extra water, nutritionist consultations, daily exercise, weight loss, talk therapy, meditation, Metamucil, Miralax, and poop stool. So, to me the medication is needed out of desperation. I would continue with my health regimen, but would like to be free from daily Miralax and Metamucil. For the last 18 months I’ve spent a large amount of my daily energy devoted towards avoiding constipation. It would be nice to get a break from that.
