Nothing has worked for my chronic constipation. I only produce "pellets" with stool softeners. When I was on pain meds prescribed Linzess and Movantik specifically for opioid induced constipation. Did not work. A nurse at pain clinic told me to take Senna, a stimulant laxative. I take every Sunday. Hate living like this..this is no way to live. Fiber only makes things worse for me, have tried it all..including flaxseed, Probiotics with BB-12, VSL 3. Nothing. Can you please tell me what probiotic you take? Please don't tell me to "take Miralax" there is an black box warning on it on FDA website..It will soon be taken off market I think. It makes me cramp too much..

@elliana5 When I had to go to urgent care about my constipation the Dr. there told me to take fiber pills and probiotics I just bought them at the pharmacy Dr. also told me to take or eat prunes it took about a week of doing this regimen but all is well hope you find a solution . I don't do many Rx by Dr. instead I do herbs and magnesium at different times before I had to go to urgent care I would drink Citrate of Magnesium that really did the trick but it unplugged me . Just remembered about this My Aunt relied on Cod Liver Oil every day. I couldn't get it pass my nose . For me now if I eat fruit at every meal and a prune at nighttime is all I need . good luck
