I was reluctant to try colace for a long time (because I was irrationally afraid that my system would get dependent on it), but then I tried it and it seemed to work pretty well for a month. after that, though, it wasn't consistent. in fact, i started taking more and more -- one day i took 8 100mg tablets. but i still got a hard poo.
for me, lactulose and MOM are much stronger and more effective and consistent.
if you're getting soft poos doing what you're doing, i recommend keeping that up. and if you start getting some harder poos, maybe just increase the MOM dosage a bit.
