Run, jump, do step aerobics and tae bo.

Running especially seems to knock stuff loose.

When I abused laxatives..I would do the RDA of magnesium citrate (I.e. the little green bottle) and that BLEW me away.

ARe you taking that dose and STILL Not able to go...(i.e. a bottle daily?).

 

The stupidity of my 20s...

I have been having more and more issues with this over past year. I take 2 Colace daily and MOM or dulcolax tabs 1-2 times a week. Even if I go daily, feel like not emptying. May be due to SIBO

Before my rny, I would use Metamucil every day - my husband and I called it "****tail hour!"  I was told I couldn't use it after the surgery for a while, I think?  I am very excited to get back to it, if possible.  I will have my 6 week checkup next week and that is my first question!  TMI - I really want normal poo again.....:)
