I'm much older, 62 yrs old and I have lots of constipation problems. And 7 mos ago I had a rectocele repair due partly to this problem. Sometimes what works for some, doesn't help others. I've tried everything. A nurse told me to eat, bran cereal, a bowl of cooked dried beans, and some type of berries each day plus drink plenty of water. I do somewhat better if I make this my routine. I also take a dose of lactulose [prescription medicine]. Some have great results with miralax...easy to take since it's tasteless. Have you tried this?
