I’ve always dealt with slow bowels Tried many things in my diet. During chemo it got worse. A nutritionist said she heard a half cup of warmed prune juice helps. Boy did it!
I put Miralax in water every night now so I won’t have to drink that prune juice!

My GI clinic told me it was ok to take Miralax every day, and I do. I still need a stimulant laxative once a week (Dulcolax Bisacodyl), but there is no straining and a few "unstimulated", small/thin/soft BMs each week. Better than it was but still a mystery why I have CIC at all. Yeah I'm 68, so maybe it's age. Dunno.
