Is there something wrong with colace??

Seems like I may be the only one taking this for constipation. Is there something that I don't know?? My doctor said it was perfectly safe.

    It is perfectly safe and very common to take.  Maybe people just aren't saying anything...

    yeah, sometimes diet doesn't cut it.  Most people prefer to go the med-free route if at all possible so that's probably why those were the first few suggestions.

    Nothing is wrong with colace, however, it is a stool softener....not a laxative.There's no fiber like in fiber one bars, fruits etc that make you go. That's the difference. I take 300 mg of colace a day, but still need a laxative like dulcolax or fiber one bars to make me go.

    Oh..well the colace seems to be making me more regular...idk...everyones body responds different but if it ever comes down to it, I will consider extra fiber in my diet!

    I had to take Colace for a few days around 11/12 weeks because my constipation was so bad. I'll take it again if I have to, too!

    There's some colace in my prenatal vit. I just figured it wasn't doing the trick. So, I'm basically trying anything right now.

    PS-Prune juice=Fail unless I didn't drink enough...

    I may go on an @ss cleansing shopping spree after work (more colace, fiber one bars, raisan bran, metamucil, whatev).

    I can't take it!
