I have been taking two Colace and one senna twice a day for a long time. It seems the calcium makes me really constipated without those 2 drugs. I quit taking calcium yesterday, What a difference.

The day after surgery, I had gone a couple of days without pooping. Normally, when I go, it comes out in balls. Quite Dense and not real easy to push out. A calcium feature, I had to take it three times a day to keep my calcium normal. My surgeon had specifically told me not to push because of the stitches in the perinium. Had the wife go out and get me some bisacodyl Suppositories. They’re supposed to work in 15 minutes To one hour. Ha ha ha. Six hours later I go to pee and realize I have to do a lot more than that. That stuff has lasted for three days. Just one time I used it. Cleared me right out. It says don’t use more than once a day, I wonder if it should say once a week.

Oh yes : (((, calcium is VERY constipating. I can not take any at all *sigh
I tried all brands, even those "chews" ets. I never have constipation since I literary live of fruits and veggies and "go" 3 times a day but if there is even a hint of calcium in any supplement, I would very soon "know it".
I even have to check for fillers in all supplements to make sure that no Ca is present . For some reason it is often added as a filler - probably because it is cheap, bulking and make tablets very compact and hard. I pray to god I will never need to take it as supplement since I would need to take "stool softeners" with it every day too. Not a big deal though, what is necessary is necessary.
I never heard of Bisacodyl suppositories - good to know ! One never knows when one might need some extra help in that department. ; )

@jeffmarc Whenever we traveled to Europe, the ever present ‘mineral water’ would destroy my system. All the dissolved limestone in that alpine water is like putting a giant plug you know where…
And Jeff, now you know firsthand what a woman goes thru when she has an episiotomy during childbirth.
Just imagine BOTH openings stretched, torn, cut and sutured - YEOW!!😩
