I take 2-3 Fibercon w/laxative after lunch and 2 stool softener pills before bedtime.
Usually it makes bowels move by next morning or midday.
I drink coffee after getting up and water the rest of the day.
Works for me.

For me, I stopped all the metamucil/ benefiber, prunes. They'd all meet up in my colon & was having bowel movements once a wk. I'm w many diagnosis, no solutions. Pills for this, pills for that. I had to reset my biological clock!! No food allergies but dr ordered gluten free diet, then high fiber, low fiber, low soluble, etc. Diets. Dulcolax, didn't work for me. Hot licorice stash tea, drinks at room temperature. Sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, cooked well. Potatoe & carrot soup in chicken broth w thyme. If you're neat tolerant eat fish & chicken, supposed to be easiest meats to digest. My system doesn't digest meat. Replaced w protein 30g boost/ensure x3 a day. There is something abt potatoe skins & look up which type banana to eat
