Constipation: What helps you?

For the past 10 years, I have had severe constipation problems. I tried many medicines, and I have gone through 3 times endoscopy but discovered nothing. From 2015 till now my constipation problem couldn't be solved. To make it worse now I'm having multiple internal haemorrhoids due to this constipation. I don't know why I'm having this constipation problem.Many people suggested many things like changing diets, taking a lot of fibre intake, reducing stress, quit smoking. I burp a lot and do have acid reflux as well but now it is getting better. What is the best solution for my constipation?

Can Benefiber be a good substitute for Miralax that was Prescribed to be taken daily? Can it be used while taking Miralax ? Mayo suggestions re daily schedule, diet, exercise all very helpful

Been an issue for me, for 20 or 25 years. Many problems. And was in the ER once with a diverticulitis attack. Almost had to have major colon surgery.So, I used prune juice, a senna formula (Ex-Lax is senna, but I use a different brand), Miralax (very helpful. It's a stool softener. Until I started using it, almost nothing worked). I also, you know, eat meals like bran muffins and yogurt, I eat a soft food diet often, I also use Metamucil. Sometimes coffee seems to help. Of course, plenty of hydration, abdominal exercises too...Anyway...a couple of things that have helped me.And I have used that wooden stool, that elevates your legs. Well, we actually have a plastic one called "Squatty Potty."have to get the height of it right. and if you have some problems with your knees or hips, can be an issue.the Squatty Potty has a truly hysterical ad, if anyone wants to check in with it. A bit gross, you know, re subject matter. But if the scatological humor doesn't bother you, it is worth a look: This Unicorn Changed the Way I Poop https://www.youtube.com/watch

I have been taking linzess 290 for quite sometime now they used to work wonderfully but now they seemed to have stopped working I also take a stool softener and laxative with them and my stomach growls but nothing happened I'm getting tired and plus I have hemorrhoids so that sure doesn't make it any easier what else can I try to help me use the bathroom I also take pain meds so that also doesn't help

Everyone is different, but for me Miralax works, along with adequate water, veggies, fruits and whole grains. I’m not currently taking Miralax, as I’m using the bathroom just fine. Hard to believe, but my constipatiin is now intermittent.

Good luck with finding something that works.

Thank you
