So what was the solution?

I would have suggested Magnesium Citrate.  My pharmacist recommended it to me when a regular laxative did not work for me.  I've been using it every other month or so, or when I feel that need to just wash out my system.  It really does the trick!  But , you have to make sure that you stay home the next day because you will be using the facilities all day with out any moments notice!!!!

  I hope your doing well:)
