I can totally relate. But after trying the same “fixes” that you mentioned, *you just didn't go far enough.* A couple of prunes and a bowl of cereal isn’t going to do a single thing for you, especially when you get older like me. After six months of experimenting with every single natural supplement on earth, I finally found a combination that not only gives me perfect BMs every single morning, but often twice a day. While everyone’s bodies are different, here is the only remedy that worked for me: *Take every night:* 1) 1 cap “Super Colon Cleanse” 2) 2 caps Stool Softener 3) 2 caps Vitamin Shoppe Fiber Blend 4) 1 cap Milk Thistle 5) 1 cap Probiotics 6) 1 cap Vitamin B Complex Take with 1 Tbs. Citrucel powder in a large glass of water (I use the sugar-free one) The Milk Thistle will cleanse your liver, the Probiotics will create a healthy gut biome, and the Vitamin B Complex will also help with good bowel movements, too. If this recipe doesn’t work for you, just have a cup of coffee the next morning and watch what happens. Best of luck!

Hi Doc, I LOVE your videos!! And your enthusiasm is infectious. I'm glad you did one on softeners, as I have often heard of them but stayed away because I noticed how so many laxatives are actually bad for you if taken to often. So I was extremely relieved to discover that you can take this stuff all the time with virtually ZERO side effects. I just ordered some online, and the stuff was only three bucks a bottle, a real "bargain"!!! Thanks again:)

If I do this fast again I'm going to take some Miralax along with liquids. On the positive side I could make sculptures out of the stuff and it would probably last a couple of Millennia so a future Graham Hancock would get stumped about exactly how the sphynx was made...

I’ve been colace clear for years. I had a fissure in 2020, healed fully, returned in a milder form and I fully believe it’s because I knocked down my dose of colace. My CRS also recommends stool softener. I take colace clear but notice my stool is sometimes not soft enough. Can I try adding in a little bit of miralax? I find miralax full dose gives me diarrhea but a little is ok. Also one or two capsules of Metamucil (half label dose) is a great hack to keep things soft but formed. And always drink water with softeners. Do you ever recommend colace and miralax together? Is it safe?

I told my primary doc about it because I go to a colorectal doc for this but she suggested get a piece of flannel, put castor oil on it and stick it between your butt cheeks..lol.She said there was some famous person that used to tell people in pain anywhere to use castor oil and it worked I am going to try it. She says to do it at nightI That's the only time it really doesn't hurt,when I lay down at night to sleep.I'll try anything! though! It doesn't hurt while I go (even it's it's soft) it can hurt for hours after I go.. ughhh

Thanks for another great video. I had a hemorrhoidectomy in March 2022 and fully recovered and have been taking Colace ever since as well as having more fiber in my diet. The one bad habit I have trouble with is drinking a lot of fluids everyday. My daily routine includes a high fiber cereal in the late evening a few hours after dinner and then take 3 Colace. Each morning drink a cup of coffee and soon after poop is now easy. My Dr says its OK to take Colace everyday like you said but how soft a stool is too soft? My poop looks like the poop emoticon 💩its just really soft almost like diarrhea without the cramping. For me this is easy each day without any straining or hard stools. I'm hesitant to cut down on the amount of Colace of 3/day cuz I'm just really scared that hemorrhoids will start coming back.

The primary cause of a hard stool is a vegetarian or a vegetable nutrition with a lot of fibre. In the case that you will not be ready to change this form of a food it will be the best to take at least every second day 1 tablespoon (= 15 ml) castor oil early in the morning on an empty stomach - 1 to 2 hours later you will accomplish an easy bowel movement.

I found that before my stools get hard they tend to get dry the day before. And I drink A LOT of water. So if I find that happening I take a couple doses of miralax. And it helps bring the water in and soften up the stool. I'm slowly figuring out how to break the cycle of getting better for a couple weeks and then having one bad washroom visit and starting over

Excellent video Dr. thank you for the information. I am a chronic non pooper. Stuff sets up like concrete no matter what and the agony of passing a steel rebar thru your bum is a nightmare. My question is this. Miralax gives me horrible gas. Painful, feeling like you’re dying kind of gas. Does the colace cause gas and bloating too? I’m scared to try it because of my experience with miralax.

I go back and forth between diarrhea and hard stool a lot. I've had diarrhea come out as I was trying to pass a brick out of my ass.

Poop ok with mostly soft stools. But not diarrhea. Problem, feel like need to poop all day some days, but goes away when sit on toilet. Diagnosed with pelvic floor dys, tight puborectalis muscle. Could be tenesmus? Any advice appreciated. Eat plenty of fiber and water. No hard stool.
