@kayraymat
As a long term pain med user, my best advice is to eat 2 or 3 prunes per day, keeps me regular!

@kayraymat
Have you tried a prescription med. LINZESS for constipation?
Talk to your gastroenterologist about LINZESS capsule.

It’s easy on my stomach and I supplement that with Prunes and Mandarin oranges 🍊
I have to take it bc of daily Morphine which causes constipation.
Good luck

@kayraymat, I have experimented enough to find a routine that works for me. I take docusate sodium 100 mg four times a day. Just the stool softener by itself. I take one Senna vegetable laxative in the morning and one at bedtime if needed. 1 teaspoon of Fiber one in my tea in the morning and or evening if I have another cup. I don’t experience any harsh laxative feelings, or reactions with that routine.
