Hard stools still, anybody had this happen?

If you are getting blocked up take 2tbls of castor oil this will get things moving again after about 3 hours and back to normal i did this every 2nd day for 1 week only and it worked a treat. I don't know what Colace is but you should only need to take stool softeners nothing else and just keep to a vege diet but you do need something to help you along.
If you need to help things along honestly go for 1tbls spoon of castor oil, this will really help but only do this if needed. Also try some pysullium husk and slippery elm bark from your health food shop and put it on some sultana bran in the morning. Another one to try is some licorice a couple of pieces a day.

First off 8 colace a day is way way to much and can give you the opposite effect.....I take one colace at night and it is now 17 days since my surgery and i go every am normal....You need to drink tons of water and the max on that colace is 3 a day and that is what the bottle says but i would just take 2 max if i were you....The thing people don't understand is if you are not doing all this before the surgery your body is not used to it...Fish oil is fine i take 2 in am and 2 in pm but i am on prescribed fish oil i stopped all the fiber i just eat less and make sure i have fiber every day like oatmeal or an apple or beans or cereal with fiber....Fibercon and milk of magnesia is safe to take as my surgeon said and as far as the castor oil it will work quick in cleaning you out but my surgeon said it is not advisable to do this as can cause more harm then good...I would take the milk of magnesia if i were you and cut all that colace and all that fiber..See my hunch is your over dosing on the colace and fiber and it is giving you reverse effect....I hope this helps...Blessings solie
