Have you tried a combination of miralax and colace? The miralax once a day and the colace twice. This really does the trick for me, as I have had some really intense constipation problems because of laxative abuse. Want some really embarassing/TMI stories? I got 'em. Just look at my journal! Haha.

Also, if you eat too much fiber, it's like, the same thing as eating a sock. It just sits in you. So make sure you're not fiber loading.

ALSO, I must make a mandatory comment about stimulant laxitives. They can be SO bad for you if you don't use them EXACTLY as labelled. Even if you do, make sure you are super hydrated, and know that a lot of the time, they just remove liquid from around the poo and make it even harder to eliminate.

Senna may be natural, but it causes the same problems as it is still a stimulant laxitive. Don't mistake "natural" for "healthy" and "safe".

Find a new doctor. You don't need a quick fix (well, you might right now!) you need something that will prevent this from happening.

Don't be embarassed, trust me!
