Okay, well I just wanted to know if there is anything I can take to soften up my feces. Thank you.

have you tried docusate sodium? I know this is what doctors give a lot before people leave the hospital.

What's that? Sorry, I've rarely been to the hospital, but never got that. :confused:

Mirlax works great, a prescription. Mirlax helps the feces retain moisture and bulk up. It is not a laxative inspite of the name.
Eating more fiber in diet will also help.
Some medications will cause constipation. Some bloodpressure meds will cause constipation.
Be sure and drink plenty of water, at least 64 ounces or more.

An old faithful: Prune Juice. You can get Sunsweet at Walgreens (like CVC or Longs or RiteAid) for about $4 for 1/2 gallon. It's pure prune juice, no grape juice or other "cut" added.

There are plenty of stool softeners that are over the counter so you don't need to see the doctor. If you don't know which one to get go to wal mart or walgreens and talk to someone in the pharmacy they will help you.
