@Ingegerd Enscoe, thank you! Yes, I can imagine it's a balancing act except I've never known how to do it. Nevertheless, I intend to try. So I shall experiment with the types of laxatives I am presently taking, keeping track of what and when. My next few weeks should be in the experimental range. I already took 3 senna tabs, and Miralax more than 12 hours ago, result is nothing. So -- starting tonight I shall keep count of things.
