I've had constipation my whole life. Was on Metamucil for 30 some years, Miralax for 5 years. Just weaned myself off the Miralax. It was causing too much D and urgent bathroom calls. Not good. It took me almost 2 months to do the weaning off Miralax and at times it's still hard. Here's my agenda: 4 to 5 Senna S, 425 mg. oxide Magnesium, 1 kiwi, prunes, prune juice, flax seed and I use a step stool during a BM.

I also just was recently diagnosed with EPI and take Creon for that. So I deal with IBS, EPI and constipation. I also have some Crohns.

It's really hard. I always ask why I can't be normal.

Oh my….I only started dealing with this 2 years ago. I hope I can get back on track somehow. My mom says she’s had her entire life. She’s 83 and hasn’t been bothered for the last several years, except for esophagus issues. And, she has terrible eating habits.
