Did you use Colace and do Low Fiber Diet before Prostatectomy?

My surgeon recommended Colace after my surgery. It did nothing. After doing some research I used Senna and it worked wonders. I purchased
Equate Senna-S from Walmart. Inexpensive and effective. Best of luck🤞

@kjacko Ahhh...that's really good to know. I looked up the active ingredients. It looks like Senna is a stool softener and a laxative.
"Active Ingredients: Docusate sodium 50 mg - Stool Softener and Sennosides 8.6 mg – Laxative"
The docusate sodium is 1/2 the dose of the normal Colace, but looks like you get a boost from the laxative.
I will file this away in case I need to go that road-thanks for sharing!
