I'm three months post-colostomy surgery and am having constipation issues. I took Miralax for three days and it has not helped. Any advice?

I will bump into that occasionally, and Milk of Magnesia does wonders for me.

On prescription, I tried dulcolax, which was too strong for me so I went onto dulcoease, which was just about right to do the job.
I also use Metamucil when the need arises and it has been very useful over the years.

Kadeem 100% grape juice has been suggested on this site for blockages - just a suggestion, no personal experience, but I do keep it on hand. It tastes great, but as an ileostomate, I avoid it. JB
