Good advice however I had bowel blockage and have very limited diet - very low fiber, no fresh vegetables or fruit. Mirelax has helped, but I’m concerned about taking it everyday.

I have had many blockages over the years as well. Only two last year which is a win for me.
I had the same concerns as you about taking medication regularly. It took me quite some time to wean off them.

Do you think you could start incorporating one of the suggested changes to help you get weaned off the medications?

I forgot to mention that I keep a log of everything i eat and drink as well. This way, when I get a blockage or feel constipated, I can review my notes and perhaps identify what may have caused the issue.

It also forces me to drink and eat properly.
