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:)

I went on a 3 day fast and about a day later I felt like I had a granite boulder in my gut. I had to take out a chisel and start whacking off chunks until I could pass the darn thing. 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...

Some days it is ok, but the minute I get even 1 gram less than my daily requirement, I’m constipated. On the days where it is mostly ok, my poops start off hard then towards the end it gets normal. Gonna try a stimulant free stool softener daily and see if that helps

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?

Yes you are SO right! I take magnesium every night which has helped a lot and it's more natural.I also take Colace too if I skip a day of a BM. I have a fissure which hurts anyway after a BM never mind if it's not soft! I use Diltiazem,desitin a numbing cream..the list goes on. 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

As I read for example Psillium Husk can be taken every day for long periods of time and help and don't form habits because is natural, is that right? Will Colace stool softener be safe for taking every day or can alternate days? Let's say Take it one day and then every two days or every other day? Thank you.

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.

Hello Dr. Your videos are amazing. I am having chronic fissure since 8 months. Its so hard for me to understand what works for me. I am 4 months pregnant. I am not ready to take any artificial stool softeners. When its in the process of healing, if i get bulk hard stool the fissure bleeds again. I really want to get rid of this before my delivery. Could you tell the natural steps and diet i have to follow.

Imo anybody can have a hot dog or french fry once in a while, as long as 90% of the diet is full of vegetables, especially leafy greens(and nuts and mushrooms)and fruits full of antioxidants and phytonutrients. I find nutritious foods tasty; and I know that they might save me from ending up in a chemotherapy infusion center later on in life. #nutritarian

Hi doctor. In Italy we don’t have Colace. Do you know any other similar product? I usually use Movicol which is based on Macrogol. Is it dangerous on a long term use? Thanks, love your channel!!❤

Colace is basicly Senna laxative. Any generic stool softener that is based from Senna will do the same thing.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@linuxlinux9914Colace is NOT senna! It's docusate sodium. It's a non stimulant laxative. Senna is a stimulant laxative that shouldn't be taken long term.

Do stool softeners cause a dependency like laxatives? Thank you for sharing your video.

Hello Dr, thank you again for your video. Can you tell us for how long it can be safe to take Macrogol (Forlax) stool softner please? I've been taking it for 6 months now and it really helps me as the fissures are still here and will flare up each month or every two months. So do you think 1 whole year is ok? I don't have miralax or the other medications you've mentionned in my country. Thank you. God bless you
