Lisy Lee,
My Ob told me to take 1 Coloxyl a day (and increase to 2 if no action ) and keep up the water. Try some fruit juice as well - and prune juice (literally just 1 cup) does wonders! Also - as for the psyllium husk and Metamucil - great stuff once you get going - but if you're already constipated my doctor said you need to get 'moving' before you increase your fibre otherwise nothing gets through!
Hope that helps!
It's an awful feeling!
All the best,
LJ
