When you have hard stools that are difficult to pass.

Miralax is a miracle in eleminating constipation. It is now over the counter. It helps stools absorb water and makes easier for passing.

Depending on what I think might be contributing:

(1) Drink more water;
(2) Eat more yogurt;
(3) Eat more raw veggies/fruits;
(4) Last resort - take the supplement Triphala.
