Two or three times a month?! You must have quite a "deposit" each time. I go about twice a week and I have a large movement. I have constipation so I have tried all kinds of things. I think I have a routine that works for me(maybe not for you): Starting on day three, I add Miralax to a glass of water at night. Then, another glass of water with miralax the next morning. If I don't have any feelings of needing to go, I will insert either a glycerin suppository. That will often stimulate the bowel to go into action after about fifteen to thirty minutes. If not, then a medicated suppository will usually guarantee a movement. I had tried the miralax routine and added a glass of Metamucil daily. That made my stool to soft any runny. Perhaps this info may be of some help. I hate to see you have to go under the knife before all options have been exhausted. I wish you well!

Thank you for your input! Years ago I used to almost do the same thing w the Miralax and suppositories..I went more than just a few times a month but still not much more. I did it for about a year and then my drs changed and had me try something else. I cant even remember.. I'm not exaggerating when I say ive tried everything and have tried alot of things multiple times. ( hope this isn't too much info..) when I do have a BM it's like a big, rock hard ball. Its literally like cement lol. Im always impacted and look pregnant.. it suxks bc i literally have ppl ask me if im pregnant and I will get so embarrassed and run away and cry. Im almost getting used to getting asked that question now. Im definitely not ready for any surgery right now and have some other conditions caused from my crohns that im trying to work out. But thank you for your thoughts! Im always open to hearing anything
