I take Metamucil and drink at least 70 ounces of water a day (sometimes 80 or 90)... I take Miralax sometimes too. But if I take it too often I get diarrhea, but if I go too long without it then i'm back to constipation. Its so frustrating to balance!
Sometimes I get hard stool from being stressed at work because I think I lose track of time and go hours without drinking anything and then no amount of water I drink that evening can make up for it because the damage is already done (water absorbed out of the intestines) and hastily drinking 30 oz at 9pm in order to "catch up" will just make me have to pee a lot.
I've tried a water reminder app on my phone but I cant really be on my phone at work. I've also thought of getting a fitbit or some sort of watch to vibrate every hour but those are expensive
