Problem with Chronic constipation

For some people to much fiber can be a problem. I'm one of them. I have to stay on a low fiber diet and use laxatives. If I want fresh vegetables I have to use the "french" method. I shock them and put them in the fridge. You can google the method. I'm still trying to find the perfect combo of stool softeners and a nonstimulant laxative like miralax or magnesium. Working with a nutritionist is helpful. Hope this helps you.

Hi, My name is Hal I was having trouble so I started using Mira Lax and I eat several pitted prunes and now I go every day. I don't know if it would work for you but it works for me. Eat several prunes per day until you find the balance that works for you. I buy Costco Sun Sweet prunes and they are tasty also. Hope you get better. By the way my care Dr. recommended the Mira Lax. I mix in a little Crystal Lite for flavor. in an eight ounce glass. This method is not like using Milk of Magnesia or other types of laxatives. Some days I don't even use the Mira Lax.
