he he - Val is my "poop buddy" , I don't feel alone any more :sprinkleheart:

ok, i think that if i have issues having a bm today, i'm going to finally give in to the peer pressure (lol) and try MOM for a couple of days. if i try that, should i stop taking colace? i'm confused on how to incorporate that into my routine (2 colace plus prune juice at night). i don't know what would be considered overkill.
thanks everyone for all of your support and suggestions!

Janis,
Maybe you could try Miralax instead of MOM.

Janis,
I like the miralax, it seems to take a few days to kick in though. I no longer take the colace (stool softner) but you can take colace with the miralax. I take 17 grams of miralax almost daily, it is over the counter. It helps retain fluid in the bowels and makes everything soft and flow better.
