Any suggestions would be appreciated. :-)
It's safe to take a mild stool softener, it will help ease some of your symptoms. Ask your Dr. what brands they recommend. Also try eating more fiber and veggies, less starchy food if possible.
Lots and lots of water or prune juice!
My doc told me to take colace
Fiber, stool softeners, overnight laxatives, water, prune or grape juice :)
