DON'T use laxatives, use a stool softener like colace. A stool softener will soften up what is already in your colon and you'll have a soft bm that won't hurt your colon. It takes a while to take affect, but worth it to be gentle. From here on, take fiber capsules with lots of water every day. With each capsule, take at least 12 oz of water all at once (not sipping it over a long period of time). I take 3 to 4 casules throughout the day. Be sure to get plenty of water each day (not soda; caffeinated drinks don't count towards your 8 glasses of water a day).

A couple things
1. Drink a lot of water, doing so should help
2. Eat fiber: apples, whole grains, lentils
3. Fiber Pills
4. Last Resort, take a laxative, but only one or two at the very most.
If you don't have a bm within a day or two call your doc

If your not too comfortable with the laxative idea, try drinking (real) grape juice, like Welch's or prune juice. also eat something with bran in it. like muffins or cereal. eating fresh fruits and juices will help too. But for your sake stay away from any cheeses or dairy :)

drink magnesium. thats what doctors give you (non-prescription) drink only 10 ounces. Make sure you have a full day to yourself. This stuff is natural and safe to take. if you dont want to be "going" all day. then drink 5 ounces. Mix with something I prefer 7-up. Good luck...

the laxative takes up to 12 hrs to work but if you use phillips it in a blue bottle it takes between 30 mins-12 hrs,they work but they make you feel sick.
