I found a perfect solution for Sub constipation

I've been on subs for about 9 months and experienced Terrible constipation for a while - i was in agony, honestly. It got to the point and I know this is horribly gross and personal, where I once had to digitally assist myself.

I went to a doctor and she gave me a perfect formula of an OTC solution and now I am Good. This might not be for everyone but, here is what I did:

Day 1: Take two senecot- OTC laxative pill- it won't get you 'moving' but it will break things up... Drink at least 5 8oz glasses of water on day 1.

Day 2: Drink an entire 10oz bottle of magnesium citrate- it's gross, but it does the trick. They come in cherry, grape, etc. Again drink at least 5 8oz glasses of water. IMPORTANT: You will need to cancel any plans and be near a toilet for several hours.

Days 3&4: Take two tablespoons of milk of magnesia each day - again, you will need to be near a toilet for the duration but it is not so severe. You will also want to increase your water intake to at least 8 8oz glasses a day. This is imperative, as you are ridding your body of a Lot of fluids.

Day 5 and on: start a regimented daily cap full of Miralax. Continue with your water intake ongoing.

This seems simple; it's really rather unpleasant however. I got 'roids down there due to this process, but it was well worth it. Now I take miralax once daily, I Never miss a day, and I am now 100% regular with movements. If you are like me, opiates and even opiate antagonist agents like subs wreak havoc on my digestive system. The above formula saved me. Everything listed is available at any CVS or Walgreens, and all are available in a generic form.

I hope this helps someone like it helped me!!
