You can also try cherry juice. It helped me, doesn't taste yukky like prunes, and not chemicals.
I was recommended Senokot. And do drink lots of water. It helps.
I really recommend dried apricots and prunes. Also fresh papaya. It's always best to see if you can manage with natural foods first.
Miralax is good I was hospitilized for my constipation soooo not good..
It depends on how constipated you are. Be sure to drink lots if water, eat plenty if fiber too. I've been having severe constipation for about a month now. My dr. told me I had to take 5 Dulcolax stool softeners and laxitives each every day. Since I've been doing that, I've gone every day. But I still feel like something needs to come out! Talk to your dr. about it and make sure you don't use stimulant laxitives, as they can cause labor to take place. Good luck! I definitely know how you feel!!
Lots of Water and watch foods that can block you up. For instance cheese. I'm a Mouse loveee cheese and it's not liking me lately lol. Best of luc. Hope that helps some. :)
