Miralax (Restorolax in Canada) works great for me, and doesn't give me diarrhea or even stomach upset at all. I take a full dose before bed, along with one teaspoon of olive oil .I found Metamucil made stools too big, but everyone seems to be different there. Definitely try to get stools soft enough so that you don't feel that tearing sensation with BM. I eat chicken and fish, but always eat some veggies with it. Lots of cucumber, zucchini, etc. Veggies with high water content work best for me. Everything whole grain, limiting white bread and dairy. I personally gave up all dairy, white flour, tomato-based sauces. It took a lot of trial and error for me, but some people seem to get away with eating anything as long as they take stool softeners.
