Hello, razelrosey,
I have chronic constipation. I take maximum dose Senna at night. Sometimes I divide the dose 10 am and 10 pm. Stopped the MiraLAX because it made me more bloated and gassy. About every two-three weeks I take a dose of Dulcolax. I drink about a gallon of water a day. I keep my rectum and colon as well lubricated as I can. I usually have to manually assist defecation with my finger. I jog on trampoline 20 minutes a day. I hate all of it but what else can I do? Best of luck to you!

Senna sounds interesting. Miralax isn’t working for me right now. I did take 2 Ducolax yesterday, which probably wasn’t a good idea, but I hadn’t gone since before my colonoscopy and had eaten a good amount of food. And, I have a doctor appointment in the morning. No way I’ll make my goal weight. Oh well…..
@mark1952, do you mind saying if you have any underlying issues like diabetes, vitamin deficiency or post covid syndrome? I’m trying to figure out why my signals stopped working. My colon looks perfect. I saw the photos in my medical chart.
mark1952 - try slippery elm (inner bark) powder with every meal. It provides slip. I can't believe how useful it is for me.

Hello, razelrosey :
what is the maximum dose to use for Senna. I have a tortuous colon and use Miralax + Senna-S 2tabs twice a day. I have at times used Sennosides. Have been constipated for years. Every time I feel gas I have to sit on toilet and cough to see if anything comes out besides gas. I'm new to this site my name is Donna
