Bowels rebooting post surgery? Never trust a fart!

Miralax is MUCH stronger than Colace . My husband used half dose only once and ended up with diarrhea - so go easy on that. He used Colace once a day and that kept BMs soft but he did not go often - he had BMs twice a day as he usually does.
Wet towels are not much softer than TP and they have some chemicals added so it would be preferable to wash yourself with plain water - use hand held shower head or buy one of those traveling portable "hygiene" bidet bottles ( like HappyPo , etc).
And yes, please do not use prep H if you do not have hemorrhoids. If you for some reason do not feel comfortable looking down there, than you will need to go to doctor to check the area. Regular family practitioner will do.

@surftohealth88 If I could hit helpful 100X, I would!!!
First, I started using some wipes instead of toilet paper and that has helped Tremendously. Thank you!
Yeah, I'm going to go cautious about Miralax. My doctors guide says to take Colace twice a day and I'm going to stick with that unless I have trouble going. Seems like Miralax is to make you go when you can't.
And, oh my goodness, the places we go. Never imagined that I would be investigating portable bidet products in my life, but here I am. Just ordered a HappyPo because, dang they are so cheap. Since we're in the no filter phase of life, I've always known that if I'm not completely clean down there, I get irritated. So, maybe I do need to go full European. I remember years ago taking a tour at the Breakers in Newport and their bathrooms all had bidets. If bidets were good enough for the Vanderbilts, guess a $14 off Amazon is good enough for me.
