Yes it's okay, infact it will help keep your stools soft and easier to pass. You just have to find the right amount for you. You don't want to cause diarrhea. I started with half a dose and went up until I found the right amount for me. Since I've had surgery I take a maintenance dose of 2 to 2 1/2 tsps. at night. All the best Suzy.

Make sure you get enough fiber and drink a lot of water. Good luck
