Stick with Heathers diet, but be sure you are getting lots of INsoluble fiber too! I'm a major C person and if I don't get enough insoluble fiber, everything stops! Water and exercise are crucial, I know its hard when you feel sick but at least walk around the block.

I went through the same things with the suppositories, otc laxatives, etc. Finally, my dr gave me Miralax. You must give it a week, minimum! Most people will have a BM in 3-4 days, sometimes it does take a little longer. At first it may cause some extra gas and bloating but that goes away after a few weeks. Did you take i cap full twice a day?? If not you may not have been taking enough! Usually 3/4 cap once a day is enough for me but sometimes I have to add a second dose. With miralax it is imparative that you drink a lot of water or it won't work!!! I would give it another chance since nothing else has worked for you.

Taking it one day at a time.....
