@sjd416 i’ve read several times in different places lately that Colace does not work so maybe eliminate that, a suppository doesn’t do much good for me personally, my G.I. doctor said it’s better to get the food moving from the top and he suggested MiraLAX or Metamucil. Benafiber is another idea. Have you tried abdominal massage that’s been recommended here several times. Good luck!

@berekann just remembered about the time my dad was pretty severely constipated, so much so he went to the ER. They told him to get a bottle of magnesium citrate, and that worked very well, almost too well! Maybe a dose of milk of magnesia or Dulcolax would be a short term solution. Because I know how miserable it makes one feel
