Hello @fdixon63,

I appreciate your clarification of your Bentyl use. Yes, the Miralax and the Metamucil might be helpful. The Metamucil will add the necessary fiber to your diet and the Miralax works as a stool softener. Start the Metamucil slowly, so you don't have excess gas and bloating. As your digestive tract gets used to the extra fiber you can increase it to the suggested dosage. Taking a little of the Miralax will work as a stool softener and that will help as well. A smaller starting dose might be helpful as well.

I look forward to hearing from you again. Will you post updates as you try this?

Hi Teresa. All your experience and advice are super helpful. I'll try to remember and let you know how things go. It may take awhile to get things down pat and hopefully I can recall where the post was. Thanks.
