    Just dont do what I did during my IVF stims. Enema followed by Miralax which I felt was not working so I took Colace, then I drank more Miralax, Then I took more colace....then I shit my pants and had a leaky butt for days.

    Once you go, try eating raisin bran and fruits that begin with P every day.

    I take a fiber supplement everyday (citrucel) and i take colace when i feel backed up. Yogurt, applesauce, coffee, any fiberous vegetable, raisin bran etc... The fiber one bars are also pretty good.

    Thanks all I used MOM and it worked but two days later so I am not sure if that helped or the salad I ate last night. I have been bad about eating greens/salads because they just don't sound good to me but I guess I have to give in.

    I drink a glass of Citrucel everyday to keep me regular. I've tried the Fiber One bars but they give me the worst gas ever.

    Kiwis work wonders for me! The effect is similar to coffee - I eat one and 10 minutes later I'm on the pot. It's amazing.
