Soey - a little while ago you asked about stool softners because yours didn't seem to be working... same thing happened to me; they seemed to do the trick for the first couple months but gradually became less effective. I use a magnesium supplement now and it does wonders. (Just be careful not to overdo it because then it becomes too loose/watery.) I take 250 on the days when I know my eating was right; 500 if I know I didn't get as much fiber as I should have.
Good luck at your appointment today, msimon!
